...summation of the whole Eucharistic Congress, the solemn benediction of the Blessed Sacrament before 10,000 witnesses (including infidels). Those who had poor places will have opportunity to see and hear the whole thing again. So too many a stay-at-home U. S. Catholic. For, three U. S. newsreel operators posted themselves at the very altar after Cardinal Lepicier had tactfully overcome the objections of the Bishop of Carthage and others unused to progressive ways...

The 51 newspapers† film local news, send it to Universal Newsreel's Manhattan laboratory. There Talking Reporter McNamee will view it. As he watches he will make remarks, which will be recorded on discs synchronized with the film. National Broadcasting Co. will not lose its No. 1 event-describer. McNamee's hour-a-day with Universal Newsreel will be sandwiched in among his regular announcing engagements...
