It was an immediate hit and en¬ couraged Father Keller to expand his film-making activities for TV. In 1951 he made 52 films starring some of the biggest names on the West Coast, which he placed with 48 sta¬ tions. The Christopher films have been on TV regularly ever since. Cur¬ rently they are seen 52 weeks a year, on 255 stations. Included in this year’s series are several dramatic films, one of which presents tough-guy James Cagney as a college professor. Another film illustrates the con¬ structive use of atomic energy in medicine, agriculture and industry and has Paul Kelly in the leading role. Finally, there are dramatic readings taken from early American history and the Scriptures—starring Ann Blyth, Celeste Holm, Ruth Hussey, Rosalind Russell and Danny Thomas. Each program of the new series emphasizes a practical theme of in¬ terest to the general audience, and is aimed at exciting in at least one mem¬ ber of that audience a sense of per¬ sonal responsibility. For, as Father Keller has expressed it, “it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.” He enlists Harpo Marx for program. Pat O'Brien and Charlie Farrell pledge services.
