of Cardinal O'Connell, branch of the
Catholic Theater Guild has been in
stituted in Boston. The Boston
organization will cooperate fully with
the movement in other parts of the
country. Many of the most pretentious
theatrical productions are given
their first presentations in New Eng
land-frequently at New Haven,
Conn, or Providence, r. l., and are sent
at once to Boston theater. Thus
this city very often has an opportunity
to see plays long before other sections
of the country get look at them. 1t
is felt that much good can be accom-
plished by early reviews Of the new
productions by representatives of the
Theater Movement there.
Zouaves in Quebec.-Close to 900
Pontifical Zouaves held two days
convention in Quebec last week.
They commemorated the golden an
niversary of their memorable voyage
to the Holy City in 1S6S-1S69 and 1870.
The convention was opened with Sol
emn High Mass at st. Johns Church.
Father Leberge in his sermon urged
the Zouaves to make good their motto:
Love God and go your way" At the
Elevation all the buglers of the diff
ferent companies rendered solemn
salute. In the afternoon pilgrimage
took place to the Shrine of St. Ann of
Beaupre. Father P. Giroux preached
the sermon. A revue of the regiment
took place at the basilique. AS the
regiments went to camp a banquet
was rendered to the veterans, AZ in
number, who had served in the papal
army. Colonel Rouleau read a tele-
gram, sent by Cardinal Gasparri, in
which the Holy Father sent his spe-
cial blessing to the Zouaves and their
families.
Historic Church Re-opened.-Quaint,
historic and beautiful, the Church of
st. Anthony of Padua, which thous-
ands of tourists have visited in New
Orleans, was re-dedicated to Our Lady
of Guadalupe, on July 3, and became
the church of the Spanish-speaking
residents of New Orleans. Most Rev.
John W. Shaw presided at the ded-
icatory ceremonies. This church is
one of the oldest in New Orleans,
where Catholicism has fiourished for
generations. 1t stands on a site that
was donated by the city in 1919 when
it was proposed to establish a mortu-
airy chapel where funerals might be
conducted, instead of in the Cathedral,
and thus prevent the spread of
disease. At that time New Orleans
was frequently visited by plaques of
cholera and yellow fever. The church
was finally built in 1926. The Termi-
nal Railroad Company of New Orleans
bought the church a good many years
ago, but after retaining it while
returned it to the diocesan authorities.
Notwithstanding it's temporary aban-
dOnment, the church remains pictur-
esque and contains fine windows and
an artistic altar.
Catholics Protest In Philadelphia
Omission of a Catholic representative
from a committee said to represent
denominations having congregations
in Philadelphia during the Revolution,
which was part of the official com.
mittee arranging religious celebra.
lions for July 4, has resulted in a
protest to the city council. Michael J.
Ryan has written to the president OF
the council calling attention to the
fact that there were two Catholic
churches in Philadelphia during. the
Revolution; st. Joseph's, founded in
1888; and st. Mary's founded in 1868
| He also states that the first Fourth OF
July celebration in the United States
was held in a local Catholic Church in
1873 and was attended by the Con
! tinental Congress. The address de-
livered on that occasion by the Able
Bandol was ordered printed and
circulated as public document by the
| Congress. When CORVALLIS sur
rendered at Yorktown, a religious
celebration was keld in St. Mary's
Church and the captured flags were
laid at the altar steps. The personne
of the committee as announced also
failed to include a representative oil
