TAMIL CINEMA 75 -A LOOK BACK

When did the playback system come into vogue inTamil Cinema?

In the 1930s, there were no technical facilities to pre-recordsongs in a sound-recording theater before the commencementof the film shoot as it is done today. Songs were recorded alongwith dialogues while the camera rolled. Consequently onlyartistes capable of singing with their own voices were chosento act. While the actor sang, the members of the orchestra satsafely away from the camera range and played the back-ground musical score. If the actor had to walk, the accompa-nying musicians too walked along with him carrying theirinstruments!

That’s why only instruments that could be carried or strunground the necks were used in their music. Harmonium, flute,violin, clarinet, mridangam and such were commonly in use. Nopianos or veenas, thank you!

In outdoor scenes, the instrument-players sat under treesor on mats or trolley and played happily. If any player commit-ted a mistake in playing a note or a swaram in the last line orword, the full shot had to be taken afresh!

In one such song sequence, the famed hero and ‘Stunt King’of Tamil Cinema of his day, P. S. Srinivasa Rao, playing the leadrole of Lord Vishnu, was singing a song which was being shot.Being a trained classical musician and also the music com-poser of the film ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’ (1934) he noticed a falseoff-key note being played by one of the instrumentalists. Atonce he yelled ‘Cut’, but the Director took no notice and wentahead with his work. Later, during the first show of the film atCrown Talkies, Mint Street, Madras, the audience howled withloud laughter when they heard Maha Vishnu yelling ‘CUT!’ inthe middle of a song in poetic Tamil! An “SOS” message wasat once sent to Srinivasa Cinetone Studio on PoonamalleeHigh Road in Vepery, and a technician raced in a car to reachthe cinema faster than wind, and he simply scissored off theoffending frames in English. Surely, when the frames wereremoved there was a jump in the sound track and music flowin the picture, but nobody bothered about all that in those days!

In his later years, after retiring from movies, Srinivasa Raohad his ‘bhajan music troupe’ in Alwarpet, Madras, in whichnoted citizens like Dr. Mathangi Ramakrishnan, ThangamAiyadurai, and Y. G. Sundar took part and they were hisdisciples. He also taught bhajans to M.S.Subbulakshmi.

The playback system came into existence in Calcuttaduring the mid-1930s and was used in Bengali and Hindi films.In Madras, the famed trio of film pioneers, Muthuswami Iyer(Murugadasa), K. Ramnoth and A. K. Sekhar, built a studio inAdayar, Madras named Kartikeya (circa 1937) and releasedads in magazines of that day inviting producers to use thestudio. And its facilities, according to the ad, included miniaturephotography and playback system.

The first film produced by the talented trio in this studio was‘Sundaramurthy Nayanar’ (1937). But there is no positiveevidence to prove that songs in this film were pre-recorded orsung while the shooting was in progress. However, the firstknown instance of the use of playback in Tamil cinema tookplace in 1938 in ‘Nandakumar’. (To be continued)

LETTER TO THE EDITORLeaning streetlight poses danger

Sir, At the junction of 53rd and 55th Street, Ashok Nagar there is alamp post which is leaning precariously towards the road.

Its base is corroded and it would have fallen but for the electric cablesupporting it. Any strong wind can snap the cable and make the ironpost topple over.

The spot is very close to a children’s park and, unmindful of theimpending danger, kids walk under the lamp post frequently.

I appeal to the TNEB officials to take immediate action to straightenthe lamp post and strengthen its base to prevent any untowardincident. Dr. K. R. Chidambara Kumarasamy, 40, 53rd Street,Ashok Nagar
