"Monastery" Shown At The Playhouse

Reviewer Declares Film is a Re- veating Epic of Monastic Life

By Michael A. Coyne, '39 The Playhouse presents "Monas• tery," a factual clnematizatlon of the dally lives of two old monastic orders of the church, directed by Robert Al• exander with accompanying narra• tion by the Rev. Michael J. Ahem. SJ. Opening in the Alpine Abbey of St.' Bernard, the film shows us the com• plete cycle of their religious life from morning until night, from postulancy to death. Not lacking In thrills and excite• ment Is this revealing epic A phoned report of an avalanche brings a bat• talion of these disciples of St Ber• nard skiing to the rescue down the steep, snow-crusted slopes. Prying deep into the piles of snow with long steel wires, they find the victims, dig them out, and bear them back to care for them Some, however, die. and we are led through an underground mor• tuary where we see corpses in every stage of decomposition, being kept until summer for a relative or friend. Studying, copying, making metero- logical observations, they represent the active life For the contemplative ex• istence, the film goes to the Trappist monastery at La Trappe Through stone-walled corridors we go with mediating monks Carved mottoes here and there proclaim the need of humility, the proximity of death. Ply• ing their trades at home and on farm, they spade the vineyards of the Lord, that the weary may have wine " We attend the death of one of them, and his burial. Laid unprotected on a board, he Is quickly lowered in his simple grave. None mourns his death All pray Tor thirty days his meal is served, but given to the poor And so in every phase is seen the whole of the religious life Profound in its simplicity, the picture helps us see the reason why ihey offer up their lives To those who will not see aught but rattling bells and holy smoke, the film would doubtless seem bizarre and foolish." as Father Abeam says But for anyone who is even the least bit curious—and most of us —* rich experience awaits.
