...Theatre, and Rev. Michael Joseph Ahern, S. J., one of New England's ablest Jesuits. The picture was Monastery, a European religious documentary film, the better part of which was made by Robert Alexandre of Pathe Cinema de France, who directed Cloistered, first picture ever made in a convent (TIME, June 1, 1936). Dedicated to Cardinal O'Connell, with his express permission, Monas tery had its U.

They were fleeing not from the Leftist siege but from two officers of their own side, Captain Cortes and Lieutenant Ruano, who had set up a rule of military terror in the convent, throwing into musty cells the starved and sick who wanted to surrender. During the siege, 21 children were born in the Virgin's Sanctuary...
