Filmindia's New Spitfire Secretary!
Calls Our Boys "milk-sops"
When eighty movie papers all over India screamed cut the news that Miss Rita Carlyle has left "filmindia", I was the first one to be surprised. Somehow, I had come to look upon Miss Carlyle as a vital part of "filmindia", so completely had she identified herself with the sensational success of the magazine for a number of years.
But when the last box of the little odds and ends which lady secretaries manage to store in the offices went out. I fancied that I saw the all-important label "Left to marry". I congratulated Miss Carlyle secretly on her success — success on securing her freedom from that efficiency-fiend Editor Baburao Patel who starts his day's drive at ten sharp every morning and doesn't let any one rest all day, till he is himself tired, which is a rare phenomenon in his six-foot frame.
Of one thing I am sure and that is, Miss Carlyle will be happier in matrimony or for that matter any where else than she has ever been in "filmindia" with a hundred things to do and a thousand questions to answer every day.
For a fortnight we observed official mourning — though Baburao Patel is still grim and silent. It looks like a serious case of personal loss and the Big Boy is going to take some time more to get over it.
A NEW GLAMOUR GIRL?
On the 15th of June, as usual I peeped into the Secretary's room. And did I see a film star sitting there?
We have many film stars calling at our office off and on — some are interviewed by the charming and inquisitive Hyacinth, some by mc and some bargain with the editor for publicity. For a moment 1 thought I saw one more of the commodity which we so badly need to lend glamour to our film industry.

Oh, n): She couldn't have been another star. I knew all the star faces and while they looked beautiful and all that they didn't look quite so coy and modest. 1 was puzzled. Our advertising executive came to my rescue with "She is the ne.v Secretary, you mug."
"But that (meaning, of course, the sweet thing inside) is too beau
tiful for an office" said I in sheer protest.
Before the advertising executive could snub me again, the door of the partitioned room opened and there in the doorway stood the beautiful spirit now known as the "new secretary'.
"Don't run away. Come in" she said in perhaps the most musical
