MAY HE REST IN PEACE!
BOMBAY, Feb. 24. Death took place on Monday, February 23rd, of Mr. Chimanlal M. Luhar, B.Sc, aged 47, a veteran director, cameraman and producer, well-known for years in the industry.
One of the few technicians with a University degree in the industry, Mr. Luhar started his career as a cameraman in the Kohinoor Film Co., and later joined the Sharda Film Co., and the Krishna Movietone. Having again joined the Sharda Film Co. as a partner, he floated an independent concern as "Mehta-Luhar Productions" which did not succeed.
Mr. Luhar then joined the Sagar Movietone as a director and he was the first to direct Sagar's old poular team of Sabita Devi and Motilal in their picture "Silver King". At the Sagar Movietone he also directed a few other pictures. He then joined the Praka*h Film Co. and directed, under its banner, what became his best picture, "Station Master".
Mr. Luhar later started his own independent concern called the Sun Art Productions and produced two pictures under its banner — "Bindia" and "School Master".
Mr. Luhar was a simple, unassuming, refined and cultured gentleman, genial v.nd affectionate with friends and honest and sincere in his work. He was suffering for some months from stone in the kidney and underwent an operation at the local Harkisondas Hospital recently, but that did not cure him of his ailment to which he ultimately succumbed.
We wish lasting peace to his soul.
Chimanlal M. Luhar
