Mother Seton (Universal Newsreel, Mar 1963)

Description

The original release sheet reads: MOTHER SETON: NUN TO BECOME FIRST UNITED STATES SAINT Mother Elizabeth Seton has become the first native-born American to be solemnly beatified by the Roman Catholic church, a prelude to canonization and sainthood. Here are scenes that reflect the life of the newly proclaimed "blessed"-her first school buildings in Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she is buried and where she founded the parochial school system. In Vatican City, Pope John XXIII leads thousands of faithful in the first veneration of Mother Seton. Among the 4,000 pilgrims from the United States is Ann O'neill, 15. Mother Seton is credited with curing her of blood cancer. SUSPENSE STORY: NATIONAL PRESS CLUB HEARS HITCHCOCK The man who chilled movie patrons long before air-conditiong, Alfred Hitchcock, is a guest of the National Press Club. The occasion is his 30th year in the movies and the release of his fiftieth movie: "The Birds". He has the press club members laughing-nerviously. SKY THRILLER: "CHUTING STARS PLAY TAG ALOFT" The navy's crack stunt team, the "chuting stars" have a final dress rehersal before beginning their third year of thrilling crowds all over the world. They fall free for two miles before opening their chutes-meanwhile they maneuver as if all infinity was their stage.
