CLOISTERED NUNS ON
THE SCREEN
(By Leonard Feeney, S.Ij.)
11 bilis picture 'Cloistered" is neg-
lected, and if Catholics do .not ,pat-
ronize it in ,overwhelming numbers,
then We must despair of ever 'having
a Catholic art on the screen. A Cath-
olic made the picture and managed
every detail of it with the utmost
sense of reverence; the nuns did us
the great courtesy of letting us see
their hidden life just as it i$ lived; the
Church authorities have approved and
praised and blessed it; the picture is
an artistic masterpiece. 'The Devil
and his cohorts are as busy on the
screen as they are elsewhere to turn
the minds Of men away from every-

It would 'be his great pleasure, we
imagine, to .Ita.ve this 'beautiful picture
escape the notice of the public at
large. It cannot but do harm to every-
thing that is low, vulgar, selfish,
mean and impnre. It cannot but en-
gender a longing for the virtues
which are the opposite of these.

COMMUNICATION
Editor, The Seaforth NewsLeIn de-
ference to the' Wishes of the -temper-
ance people of Huron, I made a
month's intensive .study of the firmer
problem at IN.ew York and four other
large centres. We wanted to learn the
last word of authentic information and
just how .serious was the liquor men-
ace, also what was .heing done else-,
where to effectually meet it, and what
care was provided for the 'casualties.
Some of us, especially at election
time, are apt to treat this problem
lightly, as something of less moment
than a 'reduction of a hydeo 'bill or ear
license and of va.stly less importance
than staying with the old Party Ship,
even when a Wet flag is ifound 'flapping
on its mast.
It has taken inc another 'month to
assimilate ,a.nd assort my 'data, and I
am mailing these to you in a series of
articles, any one of .which 'will not lbe
too long. Our Objective then, in this
introductory article is to emphasize
.the importance of the 'subject matter
which is to follow. The .11eXt 'article
will deal with "'Liquor and ehe Indi-
vidual" and the next "Liquor and
Politics", and more to .follow, if your
patience he not 'exhausted.
'Passing 'over an interesting 'day's
journey, we .will take you directly Ito
Bellevue Hospital, INew York. .0n in-
troducing myself I remarked .that no
.dotibt it was quite a usual occurrence
for a Canadian doctor to come down
to their !Institution to •settely !their
treatments for inebriety. 'I was assur-
ed that in their 'experience it had
never happened before. "'Dbotons shy
clear of this sort of 'thing," one re-
marked in .true 'Ye,akee vernaoular. SO
this :was my 'first surprise. I then told
the doctors Why I lha.d come, that
,had Tear('neany years ago , !Ulla as
inany RS am Metabolic cases per year
were b.eing 'treated art ,Belle.vue. "Oh,
that must 'have been in (Prohibition
days, If or we are treating over 1112,000
alcoholic 'cases per year now," said
one of the doctees. •So that was my
seeond Surprise, Twice as many el-
coholic casealties as in those ternible
'Prohibition daysl When bootleggers
an ci 'Ilip.podkot drinkers were making
so many drunkards,
