ciety, humanizes and softens the feelings and dispositions o£ man, produces a refined pleasure in the mind, and tends to raise up in the soul emotions of an exalted nature."
"Does music on the Indian Screen, produce any of these things on the mind of a person3 I prefer sometimes to close my ears rather than listen to the rubbish and rot which
is being sung on the Indian Screen. The gestures ami actions which our heroes and heroines do while singing are simply deplorable. I fail to understand why it is a common practice or thing that we see the hero running after the heroine like a mad he-goat. Why should there be the catching of the hands whilst singing?" POONA.

FOR MALYALI GIRLS
"Travancore is said to be a civilized State and industry is being improved there day by day. Still, till now, only 2 or 3 films in Malayalam have been produced. Have they no studios and actors of their own? That is why, perhaps, they are satisfied with the ro.ten Tamil films. Why can't they make a start by producing more in Malayalam?"

In one of its queer ironies, the war showed the theatre owner the extent he can continue his hold on his equipment. Before the war, his first thought was to get replacements or spares. Today, he has learnt to consult the PEL SERVICE Engineer and be guided by him.
The introduction of PEL SERVICE as a war-time necessity first proved to him that he could make his existing equipment perform better and last longer.
With the PEL SERVICE going into postwar utility, the theatre owner's hold on his equipment can be far better than he ever imagined. PEL SERVICE'S preventive maintenance is a boon to Theatre owners.
