FILM INDIA
THEY SHOULD
"Almost all the cinemas in Tndore have not enough space for keeping cycles and the enclosures have no shed and the cycles are exposed to rein and sun. When there is a crowded show people are not allowed to take in the cycles unless all the cycles of the previous show are cleared. Much time is wasted thus and we often mi s some portion of the picture and it becomes h?.rd to find a seat, as the best of the seats are occupied by non-cyclists. Sometimes we have to exchange our tickets for higher class for want of seats. Don't you think thp.t the exhibitors should make some satisfactory arrangements for parkins: the cycles?"

PAYING SOME DAY
"An unhappy episode took place at the IocpJ Swastik Talkies in which the furniture and other property were broken and greatly damaged. Thank God! one of our white-capped Ministers arrived in time to restore peace.
"Even though we condemn such unruly acts, we cannot entirely sympathise with the theatre owner?. Their one aim seems to be "to get rich quick" at the expense of cinecoers. It is really a scandal which no sp.ne man of a free nation could tolerate any longer.
"The theatre owners are too avariciou*. They enhance the rates of the tickets by 100% and increase the number of septs in an alreadv crowded theatre allowing the filmcoers to ?o to do«S. Thev are under the delusion that fools rush in where angels fear to trepd.
"It is high time that the theatre owners should look to the comforts of the filmgoers for having sni'eezed their hard-earned i"n"ov."

DON'T ASK "WHY' !
"Lucknow, these days has a b'ack market flood. Even the pictnro houses have been overflnodcd by it. Here in every Hindi picture house it is a common siaht to see the tickets selling at black market prices. People form a long
(A
queue daily to purchase tickets and wait at the window for hours and hours in the sun and even in the rpins. But often many of them have to return disappointed.
"Just then the pet dogs of these picture house-owners emerge out with their cry "Ten and half anna

wala for fourteen annas." The Po lice is posted there generally. Bu these police men are blind ?n deaf for they also get cuts in thi business. I do not know why th police and these cinema ownei indulge in such mean practice." LUCKNOW. A. Shanker La
