In the Vale of Kashmir
T he Vale of Kashmir, immortalised
in song and story, is the locale for one of the most romantic sequences in “India Speaks,” featuring Richard Halliburton, the handsome young writer and adventurer, who makes his screen debut in a panoramic production laid in Indo-China, India, Tibet; and other places in the Far East. This farflung valley, with great peaks of the mighty Himalayas towering above, is called by Halliburton the most beautiful spot in all India. And one spot in Kashmir forms the background for this romantic scene, with Halliburton and a beautiful, bejewelled native belle as the central character. The setting is the Shalimar Gardens, which inspired that undying melody, based on the poem of Lawrence Hope, .“Beside the Shalimar.”
