THE GOSPEL ACCORDING
TO ST. MATTHEW
"The Gospel According to St. Matt
hew" To be shown on Campus. A
Communist Produces a Life of Christ
The film “The Gospel According
to St. Matthew” by the Italian pro
ducer, Pier Paolo Pasolini will be
shown on at least three occasions in
Gaither Chapel between February
9-15. The reason for the multiple
showings is to give every student
and faculty member an opportunity
to view this superlative production
which has aroused critical acclaim
wherever it has been exhibited.
Using a non-professional cast and
appropriating the setting of Calalo-
nia in Southern Italy, Pasolini, a
Communist, has produced a literal
presentation of the events recorded
by St. Matthew. How well he succeed
ed in capturing the grandeur of his
subject is indicated by the following
excerpts from film critics:
“The Gospel According to St.
Matthew” is the greatest film on the
life of Christ ever made.”
“The film was produced by a
Communist who said that although
he didn’t become a Christian through
the experience, he had received a
feeling of ‘liberation!”
You will soon have the chance
to see this movie classic for yourself
and you may share the producer’s
experience.

A single amber spotlight focused
upon the articulate fingers of the old
master of folk music as he played the
introduction to “Old Meat Ball.” A
tiny figure, much shorter than the
table beside which he was standing,
suddenly burst forth in song. At the
age of four. Josh White, Jr. had be
gun his career in show business.
Nineteen years have since elapsed,
and today Josh, Jr. is one of the most
popular entertainers in his field.
During his early years. Josh, Jr.
studied at New York’s Professional
Children’s School. His weekends ad
■ summers were spent further develop
ing his artistry by increasingly fre
quent appearances with his father.
In 1961, the time came when Josh,
Jr.’s talent demanded that he be pre
sent in his own right, first as a club
performer and then as a concert art
ist. Since that time, he has been ac
claimed in night clubs and folk music
rooms all around the globe. He has
performed at the Bitter End in New
York, the Playboy Club in Chicago,
tarnegie Hall and Town Hall in New
York. He has appeared in six movies,
his most recent ones being “Only In
America,” and “The Long Dream.”
In the fall of 1965, Josh White,
Jr. was selected by six regional con
ferences of the Association of Col
lege Unions International and enter
tained them until 6 a. m.

Correspondants
“The appearance of Mr. Alexand
er Gabriel in Tuesday’s assembly was
like a breath of fresh air in what has
generally been a barren year for
chapel speakers.”
This is a quote from The Davidson
ian, the newspaper of Davidson Col
lege, and reflects the views of at
least one student on Mr. Gabriel’s
visit. What is even more significant,
he was “a smashing success” at a
Davidson chapel, where the attitude
toward required chapel is, according
to Bunk Spann, fifty times worse than
that at Montreat. Mr. Gabriel has al
so received endorsements from such
schools at Columbia University and
Wayland Baptist College.
On February 13, 1968, Montreat
will be privileged to hear this “Dean
of U. N. correspondents,” a man well
informed on and versed in foreign
affairs and the U. N. Mr. Gabriel’s
visit will be sponsored by the Coll
egiate Council for the United Nat
ions. He will speak during chapel
on “World Crisis and Cooperation,”
delving into the population explo
sion and what the U. N. is doing a-
bout it. For approximately an hour
afterwards he will be available for
questions on the chapel topic. As
usual, Montfeat is getting its money’s
worth, so Mr. Gabriel will eat lunch
and converse with students and fac-
cently released by Mercury Records
and presents the many moods of the
versatile young artist. Members of
the Columbia Record Club found it
to be the alternate selection for Jan
uary and it is still available through
the club.
Monday, February 19 from nine
until eleven p. m.. Josh White, Jr.
will entertain the Montreat-Anderson
