Amazed by the fact that Widener Library was able to show him the original manuscript of his first play, Sir Cedric Hardwieke, the majestic Canon of the current hit "Shadow and Substance," was enthusiastic about the state of dramatics at Harvard and the reception which he received at his talk here yesterday, sponsored by the Dramatic Club...
Against this background of trivial gossip and narrow minds, Mr. Carroll has placed the austere Thomas Canon Skerritt, who seeks refuge from football-playing curates and "Dublin's holy hooliganism" in the cold clarity of learning and the classical grandeur of the Church. At the other angle of the triangle is Dermot Francis O'Flingsley, the rebellious schoolmaster who attacks the Canon and the Church as being cruelly aloof from the pain and squalor of life. And at the apex is Brigid, the simple child who was visited by the spirit of her namesake, St. Brigid and who, dying, left...
...learned canon, Cedric Hardwicke acted with strength, irony, and restraint. Julie Haydon, playing Brigid, was naive and simple in a part which in less skilled hands might verge on Baby Snooks.

Jocism grew much like other isms - in cells (always with priests as nuclei) from which zealous apostles, called "militants," proselytized. Today, there are 90,000 Jocists in Belgium, 100,000 in France, a total of 500,000 in Europe, of whom one-sixth are militants. Jocism recruits mem bers at 14, asks their resignations when, they marry or reach 25. Like all militant organizations, from the Jesuits to the Comintern, the Jocists...
...Canon Cardijn has repeatedly summed up JOC's program: "Every Jocist has a Divine mission from God, second only to that of the priest, to bring the whole world to Christ." French-speaking workers in New Hampshire formed the first Jocist group in the U. S. A Catholic college student of Glendale, L. I., Vincent J. Ferrari, is launching the movement on a wider front, under the supervision of an able Paulist father, Rev. Paul Ward. Four Jocist study groups have been started. Jocist Ferrari, no worker himself, last week appeared minded to modify the thoroughly radical temper...
