better criticism than that. But it seems that the 'Bara-Babus' of New Delhi have taken a complacent attitude in regard to these documentaries.

"We have one consolation, however, that Mr. Patel was present when the slanderous documentaries were exhibited 'to buy' our 'disgrace", and his vehement criticism must have brought Dr. Levy and Mr. Wells to their senses. But there is only one Baburao Patel and unless the Government of India takes the initiative such 'disgraces" would be produced too often."" LL CKNOW. R. K. Ghosh.
ASK PAPA!
"The other day I went to see Shaukat Art Productions' "Jugnu". I was surprised to see how the Board of Censors has allowed this picture to be shown to the people of India.

Perhaps it seems, the managers have so far never tried to think over, what to say of remedying, the inconvenience experienced by the late comers, who for no fault of their own, are subjected to such troubles.
"Hence, I would like to suggest that the booking of tickets should be
started at least half an hour bef the commencement of every sh maintaining, of course, all t queues. It can well be stressed, t" it is bound to prove beneficial to . and will be heartily welcomed".
