Cardinal Roncalli Proclaimed Pope (Universal Newsreel, Oct 1958)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. CARDINAL RONCALLI PROCLAIMED POPE - Exultant throngs outside St. Peter's receive the signal from the Cardinals' conclave in the Sistine Chapel that a new Pope has been chosen. Elevated to the Papal Throne is Cardinal Roncalli, who adopts the name of John XXIII. One of his first acts, after giving his benediction to the rejoicing thousands, is a plea for peace. 2. QUEEN OPENS PARLIAMENT–FIRST FILM EVER - For the first time ever on films, the opening of Parliament by the Queen. In London, acted out again is the dramatic tableaux that symbolizes Britain's successful fusion of all the pomp and splendor of monarchy with a democratic government, a resplendent tradition-rich spectacle. 3A/B. QUEMOY STALEMATE - Under the harassment of an intermittent, off-again, on-again barrage by Communist guns, Quemoy goes stoically about its daily life, in which civilians are never far from their underground homes -- shelter from the rain of death that may come from the skies once more without any warning. / HULA HOOPS FLIP CONTINENT - The hottest thing since rock 'n roll, recalling the medieval St. Vitus' Dance epidemic, the hula hoops conquer the Continent, from bourgeois German businessmen to bohemian French ballerinas, chicks who are really hip to the hoops! 4. BROWNS RIP CARDS - In Chicago, a spectacular display of powerhouse precision by the pros as the rampaging Cleveland Browns, and the gamely fighting Chicago Cards, rip off a spectacular series of scoring plays. The Browns' massive Jimmy Brown stars, scoring 4 TDs, as the Clevelanders win 38-24.
