ISKCON programin Mambalamon SaturdaysBy Our Staff Reporter

The International Society forKrishna Consciousness (ISKCON), Injambakkam, con-ducts ‘Bakthi Vriksha’ pro-grams from 7 p.m to 9 p.m onSaturdays at 28, South K. R.Koil Street, West Mambalam.

The program includesbhajans, congregational chan-ting and Bhagwad Gita classes.

More details can be had inphone 2371 3606 or fromRanga Krishna Das (24744900, 98400 27800).

All are welcome.

Sambur Vadakarai Subbaiah Bhagavathar was a famedstage and later film star of the 1930s. He was a well-trained andtalented Classical Carnatic musician and was a noted‘gramophone’ (then known as ‘plates’) singer, and many of hissong-discs were hits. His most famous song was “Jaya JayaGokula Baala”. In any play, irrespective of its period, charac-ters, scene or content, he would enter the stage singing this songlike a signature tune.

In “Valli Thirumanam”, he played Muruga and he would enterthe stage singing “Jaya Jaya Gokula Baala”. And he did thesame even when he was playing Lord Rama! And peoplecheered him wildly even as the first line was heard.

Once, in a play, he was Lord Krishna and he came on stagein an expensive white silk suit with a flaming red tie and gold tie-pin singing “Jaya Jaya Gokula Baala!”. When questionedabout the dress, he is said to have asked, “How do you know thatKrishna never dressed this way?”

(Such incongruences were quite common in those days. In afamous hit play ‘Bhoo Kailas’ in Kannada, performed all overSouth India by the noted S. S. S (Sri Saraswathi Sahitya)Natya Mandali, Mysore, Ravana (acted by the legendaryKannada stage and screen star of yesteryears, M. V. SubbaiahNaidu) would sing the Thyagaraja composition “Rama NeeSamaanamevaru!” which was in praise of his arch-enemy LordRama! Indeed a friendly, kindly Ravana!)

Cinema began to talk and sing in Tamil in 1931 with theforgotten South Indian film pioneer H. M. Reddi’s “Kalidas”.Curiously, in this film, the heroine T. P. Rajalakshmi spoke andsang in Tamil while the hero Narasimha Rao did so in Telugu.Some other characters spoke in Hindi! Even though it was thefolk myth tale of the immortal savant of Sanskrit, poet andplaywright ‘Kaviratna’ Kalidas, the hero sang a composition ofSaint Thyagaraja Swamigal who lived in the 18-19th century!

With classical Carnatic musicians being cast in the lead orother major roles, producers and directors thought it fit to makeuse of the artistes’ singing talents and fame to draw the crowds.The grammar of cinema was then virtually unknown and, notsurprisingly, early Tamil films were mostly filmed plays orcanned theater. Plays were shot by camera in “as is where is”condition and no attempt was made to invest a film with theelements of cinema. Screenplay-writing was not known in theearly years. The accent was on songs and dialogues, and thecamera remained static in most scenes. Even the music, justas the dialogues, was recorded on the spot in sets while thecamera was rolling. There were no technical facilities to recordthe music before the shooting in a recording theater as is beingdone now.

1934 witnessed the release of a major box-office hit “BhamaVijayam”, the familiar mythological tale of Lord Krishna andhis two wives, Rukmini and Sathyabhama. It was produced bya successful Coimbatore-based company, Chellam Talkies, ata cost of less than a lakh rupees and it grossed a stunninglyincredible 10 lakhs! Directed by the Hollywood-trained ManikLal Tandon, it had M. R. Krishnamurthy as Krishna and thefamous ‘Palayamkottah Sisters’, P. S. Ratna Bai-P. S.Saraswathi Bai as Rukmini and Sathyabhama.

( M. R. Krishnamurthy, a singing star of yesteryears, was theyounger brother of the legendary Carnatic musician,Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer.)

As Sage Narada was introduced a new face, a handsomeeducated young man of good family background destined tocreate history and become a living legend in the world ofCarnatic Music. His name was G. N.Balasubramaniam, laterimmortalized under his famous initials ‘GNB’. M. L. Tandon andthe producer A. N. Maruthachalam Chettiar decided to makefull use of GNB’s musical talents and skills. The film had asmany as fifty-nine songs! GNB sang eight of them solo and twomore along with others. (To be continued)

A vacant plot at 12, Srini-vasan Street, T. Nagar, has beencovered with bushes and garbage for the past several months.

It provides a breeding of mosquitoes and nearby residentssay they have also seen snakes in it. They said that earlier theowner used to clean the plot regularly but in the past severalmonths he has not visited the plot and they too have not beenable to contact him.
