We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
[In this section, the editor himself replies to queries from the readers. At thousands of letters are received every month — some anxious and several frivolous — it is neither possible nor convenient to attend to all. Selected letters are usually treated in an informative and humorous strain and no offence is meant to anyone.']
NIRMAL KUMAR LAHIRI (Patna)
I congratulate you on your taking up a very cultured Indian lady as your secretary . Is she the first Indian to be employed thus by you?
j beg your pardon! I have never employed a
foreigner yet. Thanks for your congratulations.
Do not the film stars ask you questions like your readers?
People who live in glass houses cannot afford to throw stones at others. Their own life happens to be one unanswered question.
P. N. MATHUR (Jaipur)
Who is the best singer on the Indian screen? Saigal. What he does not sing is not music.
MUTHU ISMAIL (Bezwada)
Is it true that Mr. Dalsukh Pancholi is not a wellmannered man?
That depends on what you want out of him. Every man has a good stock of both — good and bad manners — and Dalsukh is no exception.
E. WINFRED (Marikuppam)
Why do film stars marry, when they play husband and wife in the pictures? I think the play itself ought to satisfy their ambitions.
Marriage is not play-acting. It is a different game not played on the screen but behind it. Filmstars often come on the screen with the solitary object of going behind the screen some day.
K. S. BHATNAGAR (Indore)
From the number of pictures advertised by Mr. Kardar — viz: "Namaste", "Bindiya", "Shah-Jehan", "Kanoon" and "Sharda" which one is being actually produced?
"Sharda" has been produced and already released at Karachi where it is reported to be drawing large crowds. "Sharda" is a streamlined comedy with a tiny pretence of instruction. It is a breezy picture which entertains every minute. Kardar produced this picture within three months — a feat he found difficult to achieve when working for other producers. Kardar. is now busy with "Namaste" as his next and 'Kanoon' as his third.
NAVAL KISHORE MALAVIYA (Cawnpore)
Will you please ascertain why Snehapraba Pradhan
hesitates to send her photo to one who really ciates her?
appro
The last time she sent a photo out, it fell in the hands of Kishore Sahu, who "really appreciated" her. You know what happened. How do you expect a wise girl to take another chance?
M. A. ABBASI (Cawnpore)
Do you know that Neena has French blood in her veins? Her grandmother's father was an emigre to India. Does that account for her rare talent?
This fellow — Baburao Pendharkar — had to come between them. He seems to be round the corner when girls are about — and this time in a Burmese costume. This occasion was when Sushila Rani graced the sets of "Nagad Narayan" and met Leela Desai. the heroine.
