HULLO, CENSORS! "The other day I had the misforle of witnessing Mangal's much ked of film "Jivacha Sakha" at local Minerva. The story has ither continuity nor entertaining parity excepting good photography d sound recording. Many obscene d highly objectionable scenes such attempt of rape, inhuman threats vengeance, juvenile romance etc. ; shown; Mr. Patel, in spite ol ur continuous efforts and the Gens' strenuous steps to wipe off such moralizing scenes, one wonders w such pictures are still being rmitted to poison the innocent unger minds. This is running re to packed houses widely pubsized. Will the Censor authorities check and scissor them off if not wily?"
DONA. D. Natarajan.
In "Karwat", a story of Shree Gopal Picture, Paro has some intense emotional

NONE. OLD BOY! "The speech delivered by Sardar landulal Shah at the recent meetg of the film magnates in the prence of Bombay's Home Minister very interesting.

P. & Berar, performed the opening ceremony of an old cinema house with the new name of "Bharat" (previously known as Minerva) with the vulgar and slanderous picture "JUGXU" which was banned by the Hon'ble Home Minister of Bombay Presidency. Here in C. P. we have no Baburao Patel who can save us from the devil-dancing of Mr. Shaukat Hussain Rizvi in the picture. Does it mean that Ministers of different provinces in India see a picture with different angles or does the standard of morality vary from province to province?" NAGPUR C. P. Gyani Prasad.

"I hope that you generally do not visit Tamil pictures; so much the better for you. You will not only save the hard earned money but avoid untold physical and mental tortures.
