Last week the best-known Baptist in the world, Evangelist Billy Graham, was in a controversy with some members of his own church over what they considered his un-Baptist views on baptism...
...Sockman's special ministry; he is generally acknowledged as the best Protestant preacher in the U.S. He is one of the alltime veterans of the air waves; for 33 years his voice has been heard on the National Radio Pulpit at 10 a.m. Sundays. Shunning the emotionalism of Evangelist Billy Graham, his lucid sermons - many of them published in his 20-odd books - are designed to teach as well as inspire.

Now there is reason to believe that her seductive hallelujahs as a prurient evangelist may well make her the toast of the movie tabernacles. For Salome (she pronounces it Sal-o-way) is that rare actress whose vernal essence comes from within, breathing innocence, poignancy and a strange soft beauty into an otherwise wooden face...
