...seasoned soul-winner at 25 is Rev. Uldine Utley, a dozen years ago the protegee of Manhattan's late, reforming Baptist John Roach Straton, and for the past two years a Methodist minister in good standing (TIME, Dec. 30, 1935). Small, blonde and decidedly the most comely of U. S. divines, Miss Utley has been called by newspapers the "Garbo of the Pulpit" and the "Terror of the Tabernacles"; by Dr. Straton the "Joan of Arc of the modern religious world." This reverend miss once declared: "If I were a man, I'd never marry a woman preacher...

Prior of the community of the Order of Servants of Mary (Servites), which conducts Our Lady of Sorrows, a monastery and two parochial schools, is Very Rev. James R. Keane, 35. Asked last week to account for the religious fervor which not only fills his church (capacity 1,1001 but lines up the faithful in queues outside, Father Keane replied: "It's the Blessed Virgin." From approved Catholic sources, Father Keane compiled a novena service for Our Sorrowful Mother, which involves congregational singing, congregational prayers and a Via Matris (Way of the Mother)-in which the worshipers traverse...
...threatened a boycott. "Bad taste," mourned the Motion Picture Daily. Such terms as "profane," "filthy," "obscene," "vomitous," burst from such varied commentators as the Chicago Tribune, the Battle Creek Federation of Women's Clubs, New York's Congressman O'Toole, churches, plain citizens. Washington's Rev. Dr. Maurice Stephen Sheehy, head of Catholic University's department of religion and Don Ameche's great & good friend, was hopping mad. NBC and J.
