X. . -o The Mass of Brother Michel By Michael Kent Book Review By Beiiy Conlin '45 The Song oi Bernadette By Franz Werfel Book Review By Patricia Fox '43 Bit 0 mln her great room overlooking the gardens of the Chateau, the vineyards and olive trees beyond and the brilliant ribbon of the llflediterranean lash- ing in the sunlit distance, the Comtesse de Guille- mant lay dyingf' ln my opinion these words begin one of the be-st books written in our day, 'fThe lllass of Brother Michel , by lllichael Kent. lt is a beautiful story simply told. A love story, with the Greatest Love of all claiming both in the end. Michel loved Louise, and she in turn loved him. It was as simple as that. Both were young. intelligent, and handsome, both came from the aristocracy of France. As the story proceeds, the wedding day, which is destined never to take place, draws near. For, as fortune would have- it, Nlichel is seriously wounded in a boar hunt and is so dis- figured that his own hardened father casts him from his home. Hurt and humiliated, lllichel finds his true Love in the simple life of a lay brother, since the absence of one hand, lost in the accident, prevented the attainment of his crowning desire: that of becoming a priest. In due time Louise, too, finds ultimate beauty and complete fulfillment in the Supreme Love. Side by side, therefore, the heroic pair are martyred in the religious revolution that swept France at that time, but not until, by a miracle of Love, Brother Michel says his first and last Mass. All that seems to be known of the author is that his name is Michael Kent. Whoever it is, this much is generally admitted: Surely he has written a masterpiece of Catholic fiction in The Mass of Brother Michel . 'A' i' ir The f'Song of Bernadette, the story of a Catholic saint, strangely ,enough was written by a Jew, Franz Werfel, and translated by another, Ludwig Lewisohn. It is a novel but not fiction. All the memorable happenings are true and this story makes no changes. As lllr. Werfel says in his preface, HI exercise my right of creative freedom only where the work, as a work of art, demanded chronological eondensations or where there was need of striking the spark of life from the hardened substancesf, Although the story of the apparitions at Lourdes 24 THE SCROLL

Leisu is familiar to Catholics, the story behind the story is not. Bernadette's life was a very simple one. She was a peasant girl who never wished to be anything else. She loved the ladyl' with a love that asked no questions. Vvhen in school penitence was talked about, Bernadette didn't quite under- stand itg but when the lady said, penitence ', her zeal to please the lady began to clarify the meaning to her. When her knees bled from dragging them over the- jagged rubble, she knew an act of penitence had been accomplished. This story is written most beautifully and so interestingly that, once started, one can hardly put the book down. It follows Bernadette's life from just before the visions, through to her entering the Convent of Nerves, becoming Sister Marie Ber- narde, until she is reunited at death with the lady. It gives a true picture of this saint who, humble as a matter of course, was witty in her answers, and called pert by her teacher. Bernadette's straight- forwardness in answering convinced even those who did not wish to be convinced. The- Song of Berna- detteu is a t1'easure and will be a pleasure to all who read it. 'A' if 'A' A movie really worth seeing is Hlblrs. lN'Iinive1'y'. England provides the setting for this fine picture depicting deep human emotion. The lVIinivers, a typical family, with their shares of ups and downs, include Kay and Clem, the parents, and their children, Vincent, Judy, and Toby. This highly lauded story by jan Struther is a character sketch. ln the movie not only are the sorrows Of war related, but also the joys which a united family can find even in such troubled times. NIrs. Kliniverw also brings out the strong bond often formed between a mother and her daughter- in-law. Nfany who have seen this magnificent movie prophesy that it will be an Academy Award Winner. A fine cast, superb acting, and a truly human story make this picture a favorite of all. Greer Garson gives an excellent portrayal of 'flVIrs. lVIiniver . Noteworthy is Walter Pidgeorfs magnificent performance as her co-star. Teresa Wright, a newcomer to the screen, heads the sup- porting cast as the-ir daughter-in-law. Q..
