...organist there at the Carmelite Monastery as a child. He began conducting Palestrina in Chicago's old St. Mary's Church in 1904, a year before he was ordained. "I was 25 years trying to find out how to conduct it," he says. In the meantime his Paulist Choristers became world famous. In 1918 Father Finn left Chicago for Manhattan...
...Boys. Father Finn's choir boys now number devoted generations. Finn choristers have included Orchestra Leader Ray Heatherton, and Radio Announcer Milton Cross. One boy who failed to make the Paulist grade was radio's famed Morton Downey, who had an unsuccessful audition in 1915. "His voice," explains Father Finn, "must have been changing or something." Recently, Father Finn has been traveling, giving the benefit of his experience to Catholic choirs all over...

Through the church door paraded a dozen live models, women in spring street clothes, men in frock coats, military uniforms and mufti. Once a day six choristers from the Paulist choir stepped into the window and caroled Gregorian chants, their shrill-sweet descant relayed by amplifier to the street outside. The Franklin Simon window attracted almost too much attention. Army authorities straightway protested against this unseemly display of the uniform, and Franklin Simon had to substitute a vaguely military garb...
