Points: Time and occasion — Early preparation — Some highlights of the function.
The rains were over. It was autumn, and our local Club was active planning for its annual social function. We were happy when Mr. Dey, the famous musician, accepted our invitation. But just then an awkward thing happened, an anonymous letter came threatening our musical soiree. We went to the local police. When we invited the O. C. personally, he assured us that his men would see that the function went off smoothly.
On the day of the function, the dais was carpeted and seats were marked for ‘members’, ‘guests’, ‘press’ etc. The microphones were tested and the entire locality was echoing with incessant “hello, hello hello.” The musical soiree was a tremendous success. Mr. Dey sang quite a few songs, and each was a ‘super hit’. The boys and girls of the local schools presented folk songs’ which were acclaimed. There was no disturbance and we heaved a sigh of relief.
The last item was a film show. The chief guest Mr. Mukherjee introduced it with a neat speech. He said that film was a new form of art and demanded new awareness. A taste had to be created for it. One of the world’s most famous films ‘Battleship Potemkin’ was shown after that. It kept the spectators spell-bound. I was thrilled by its vast canvas and grand presentation. It climaxed the success of our cultural function.
