INDIAN FILM STAR BROADCASTS
SINGER AND DANGER AT- LONDON STUDIO.
LONDON, May 18. Miss Devika Rani, the star of "Karma," the first all-Indian talk- ing picture, is to broadcast and televise to-night, when. the film opens at the Marble Arch Pavilion, London,
She will be heard in the after- noon and evening, and will be seen. and heard by television at 11.0 p.m. Listeners in India will also be able to hear Miss Rani, as the is timed for the Indian zone program- me at 4.0 p.m. English listeners will hear her in the National pro- gramme at 10,30 p.m.
Miss Rani has already broadcast from Continental stations, includ ing Berne, Basle, and Lausanne, but this will be, her first appear-
ance before the microphone in this country.
Besides being hailed as a new film star of singular beauty and and accomplishment, Miss Rani is Aromarkable linguist. She speaks German, fluent English, French, Italian, as well as her native Ben- is a gali and Hindustani, and singer of great ability in all these languages.
Poet's Great-Nicco.
Miss Rani is the daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel M. N. Chad- huri, of the Indian Medical Ser- rice, who is very well known in the Madras Presidency, and a great- niece of Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the greatest living Indian poet.
By her participation in "Karma" Miss Rani broke an age-long tradi fion in India that ladies of high casts and education should not per- form in public.
In the television programme Miss Devika Rani will sing an authentie religious chant, and will donee a religious dance, as performed by the truple maidens for thousands of years past in India. These dances and chants are still done in some parts of the South of India. Therefore for the first time mem- bers of the public will be able to see in their homes authentic ver- sions of Indian religious cere- monial.
