...stares in gaping amazement at Manhattan's skyline. "I've made it at last!" With his "life's savings" clutched in one hand and his life's work in the other, the young painter-hero of this 24-minute short subject plunges with the valor of ignorance into the talent warren known as Greenwich Village. He rents himself a studio in an alley littered with garbage and decorated with a sign that says: NO TOILET. Then out to the nearest gallery to see who's doing what.

Yaleman Cavanagh traces his priestly vocation to his World War II experiences as an artilleryman in Europe. Unmarried, he resigned from the Connecticut legislature to enlist in the Army, won three decorations for valor, and was mustered out a lieutenant colonel. "I don't like to be dramatic about it," he says, "but everything just seemed ephemeral after the war."

The seventh of eleven children born to a farm family, he served in the Austro-Hungarian army in World War I, was twice decorated for valor before being captured by the Italians. After the Armistice, he studied agriculture and economics, planning to take over the family farm, but in 1924 he decided on the priesthood and went to study in Rome. He was ordained a priest in 1930. Only four years later...
