WISE ACT.
The Government of Bombay have ordered that in future the Bombay Board of Film Censors will not be permitted to cut out the photographs of political leaders or any matter relating to them such as: scenes, words, songs etc.
They have, moreover, asked those producers whose filn.s have been thus mutilated since 1942 to approach the Board if they wish that the old orders of several excisions to be withdrawn.
"We, however, hope that our mercenary producers don't turn our revered leaders into film salesmen by exploiting them at all turns and corners.
MORE THEATRES
A deputation of film people led by Rai Bahadur Chuni Lall, the ex-president of the Producers' Association and the only competent man in institutional organization of our industry, waited upon Mr. Morarji Desai, the Home Member of the Government of Bombay on the 21st August at Poona.
The burden of the tale flag about the Government granting sanction to build more cinemas in the city and suburbs of Bombay. Rai Bahadur Chuni Lall pointed out the Home Member that there were 50 cinemas in Greater Bombay, out of which only 15 were first run theatres for Indian pictures while 11 exhibited foreign pictures. The rest played second and third run pictures.
The Rai Bahadur urged that as the Indian film industry was expanding every day and its product was piling up, it was necessary to have new theatres to maintain the economic stability of a national industry. The Home Member promised to expedite the present applications from people who want to build new theatres but refused to accommodate a representative of the industry on the Advisory Committee which has been recently appointed to assist the Commissioner of Police in dealing with the applications for new theatres. , MISUNDERSTOOD
A report from London appearing in the "Times of India" says,
Lila Shinde, a small one now becomes something in "Dharti"' a Ranjit picture.
"Jayashree, the Indian film star, and her actor-husband, Mr. V. Shantaram have arrived in London, on their way to America."
These English people don't even know that Shantaram is essentially a producer-director. Wonder, winhe did that kangaroo stuff in "Dr. Kotnis" to be labelled as an "actor-husband."
