On 2nd May, I met Saigal at the Moghalsarai Station. He said, "Mr. Patel is a partial man. He discourages Bengali art stes in Bengal but praises them In Bombay." What do you say?
What time of the day did you meet Saigal? Saigal's utterances depend on the time he says them. Was it evening by any chance? And has the Moghulserai Station got a restaurant room?
IK. R. Singh (Agra)

Born with a golden voice. Will die with a golden voice. He has nothing else.

A friend of mine with a jea'ous wife is very fond of Khursheed, but is too afraid to express his feelings. Please advise what he should do?
Poison his wife and then start for Bombay. If

to discover that Khursheed is a happily married
woman.
M. K. Vijayaraghavan (Madras)
Do you think it is impossible to produce Hindustani pictures in Madras.
See what a mess they have made of Tamil and Telugu pictures. Why talk of Hindustani?
U. S. Jat (Aligarh)
Has Sohrab Mody disappeared from filmdom? I have not seen him for a long time?
Haven't you? Why, he did publish a photo of his recently on horse-back. You noticed the horse perhaps. It was a nice animal.
TO MY READERS
My replies in the Editor's Mail Section though labelled with my confession that they mean no malice, have been recently misconstrued by "friends", with the result that a wellmeant reply to a reader has become the cause of a court suit.
All letters received at the office are taken as genuine, even though some of you, particularly the college boys, may be practising, sometimes, deception by putting down wrong names on the letters. Those who do this don't deceive me, because I trust them all.
In future, however, I shall only answer those letters, which have not only the full names of the writers signed on them but also their full addresses.
BABURAO PATEL.
