Such exhibitions do not at all affect our grea public leaders like Azad and Jinnah whose popularity and importance are certainly not built on such emo tional outbursts by the masses. But thsse demonstra tions contribute only to prove the hysteric intoleranc of our people and incidently their very bad manners.
A cinema theatre is not a place to demonstrab one's political passions. We have plenty of opei parks to do that without forgetting the sands a Ghowpatty.

The other day Ken Murray, the well-knowr stage comedian and a veteran in his game, insistec in his divorce suit, while giving custody of his twej sons to his wife that the boys shall not be permit-) ted to become' actors.
"I have seen too many kids in show business"! told Murray to the judge, "They are precocious ami spoiled and don't lead a natural childhood."
And Murray should know. lie has been too Ion J behind the footlights. Murray's words should bcl written across the walls of every home where some] doting parents are spinning rosy dreams of forcim their children into the star racket. Nothing will
