4 Page 4 February 15-21, 2014 MAMBALAM TIMES TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 83 Viswanathan used a wide array of musical instruments - accordion, piccolo, melodeon, xylophone, tuba, bongos, keyboard and Indian, Western and even African percussion instruments - which had never been used earlier in Tamil Cinema. He has also sung in some films. At one stage Viswanathan and Ramamurthi parted company. But MSV continued to forge ahead in his career. He also turned producer, which of course did not make him a happy man! Viswanathan had the excellent support of a talented team of arrangers, composing assistants, and instrument players. Mention must made of Sankararaman (Subbaraman s brother), G. K. Venkatesh, Henry Daniel, Joseph Krishna, Joe (keyboard), Sivamani (drums), Nanjappa Reddi (flute), Gopalakrishnan (percussion), Mangalamurthi (accordion), Ben Surender (keyboard) and Frank Dubier (trumpet). Now in his eighties, Viswanathan still composes music and acts in movies and television serials. ****** ****** ELLIS R. DUNGAN ELLIS R. DUNGAN, an Ohio-born American, became a memorable Tamil film-maker and made hits and classics in Tamil. He knew not a word of the language its culture, customs or tradition. Yet, he created many immortal movies based mostly on its classics, epics and folk myths, SathiLeelavathi (1936), IruSahotharargal (1936), Ambikapathi (1937), Kalamegam (1939), Sakunthalai (1940), Meera (1945), Ponmudi (1950) and Mantirikumari (1950). The lastmentioned movie is a cult film and still in circulation. He was a brilliant film technician equally at home with the movie camera, lights, editing tools, screenwriting, make-up, direction and more. To this dayhe is admired for his incredible achievements and the mastery over the movie camera was one of his extraordinary assets. He studied the customs, rituals, rites, tradition, and beliefs of the period of the film he was making. As he did not know Tamil he insisted in involving himself heart and soul in the picture from the day he was engaged. He took active part in every session of the story discussion, film treatment, and the final screenplay of his films with his writers and assistants. He had every Tamil word translated into English and typed in double space paper sheets for his study. For Kalamegam (1939), in which the nagaswaram genius T. N. Rajaratnam Pillai was the hero, he shot a sequence never done before in South Indian cinema. Kalamegam, a famous Tamil poet, had the gift of his abuses and curses coming true! In anger, he curses that a village beside the sea should be destroyed in storm and floods! To shoot this exciting sequence Dungan took shots in the village and then erected large-sized miniatures on the sands of the Bay of Bengal beyond Adyar in Chennai. In that period, areas of today like Besant Nagar and beyond did not exist. It was all a vast open stretch of sand and sea! Operating the camera himself, he shot the storm and flood scenes there, using fans and churners, and the effect was electrifying! Ellis R. Dungan was born in Barton, Ohio, U.S. on May 11, His ancestors hailed from Dungansville, a village in Ireland. Dungan joined the Department of Cinematography and Motion Picture Production of the renowned University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. At USC, Dungan made friends with two fellow students and the three formed a group. They made a student film called The Oval Portrait with some B-grade but known Hollywood stars acting free. Thus, Dungan and others came close to several Hollywood personalities. Such persons included the celebrated starsbob Hope, Bing Crosby and Alan Ladd. The other two in the trio were an American, Michael Omalov, and an Indian, Manik Lal Tandon. M. L. Tandon was to play a leading role in Dungan s life. He invited Dungan to come to India and work with him. He was a successful film-maker of s and made hits in Tamil like Bhama Vijayam (1934). Dungan joined M. L. Tandon s unit for Nandanar (1935) - in which K. B. Sundarambal was the hero!- and shot many sequences which did not require Tandon s presence. Then it happened! ( To be continued) Sirpangal, an exclusive exhibition of bronze idols, wood carvings and stone sculptures organized by Tamilnadu Handicraft Development Corporation (108, Anna Salai) is ongoing from Feb. 7 to 20 in Sankara Hall (TTK Road, Alwarpet).

He has been giving the donation to the Sangam for the past 5 years. Apoorva Women s Association (27, Arulambal Street, T. Nagar.
