...last week were 20 archbishops, bishops and abbots, in- cluding Archbishop-Coadjutor Georges Gauthier of Montreal, Monsignor Andrea Cassulo, Apostolic Delegate to Canada, Archbishop-Designate Jean Marie Rodrigue Villeneuve of Quebec who is likely to be Canada's next Cardinal. Said Bishop Georges Courchesne of Rimouski in the consecration sermon: "Your courage, Monsignor Turquetil, in overcoming the dread of a discouraging solitude and white silence of the North is explained by your ardent desire to serve God, convert pagans to Catholicism and increase the ranks of the Catholic population...
...True To Be Good" is entirely excellent, or that it is a drama. There was waste places without number, but the oases are passing fair.

This created but little stir in the pleasant, close cropped countrysides of England, so a year later the literary world was the richer...
...taking poison. Poison fails to kill her. The last reel shows Clive Brook at home again, solemnly celebrating Christmas with his wife and children. Adapted from Ernest Pascal's novel and play The Marriage Bed, the picture adds up as a sincere and thoughtful if somewhat superficial sermon on the sanctity of marriage and the insignificance of escapade. Typical shot: Juliette Compton saying "Don't let me die!" to Clive Brook just after taking the poison. Delicious (Fox). Pictures in which Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell appear together seldom change plot. Janet Gaynor is a waif of some sort...
