Galahad Quest

My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure.

That's me all over, thought each of the 125 jobhunters who last week answered advertisements for an "Honest man with moral qualifications wanted to play the part of Sir Galahad." The man in search of a Galahad was Franciscan Patrick Mc-Carthy of St. Christopher's Inn, Graymoor. N. Y. Chosen Galahad, after two hours of auditions and soul searchings, was 17-year-old Business-Schoolboy Ralph Welliver.

Father Patrick's Ave Maria Hour is a weekly broadcast on station WMCA (Manhattan), dramatizing pious chronicles. For Galahad's role in his dramatization of the quest for the Holy Grail, businesslike Father Patrick would have none of WMCA's actors, demanded one who would measure up not only to his conception of the pure knight's appearance, but his moral character.

Among the 125 applicants, 27 survived moral examination. Schoolboy Welliver was chosen because he was the best actor of this stainless group. His specifications : 5 ft. 10 in. tall, 148 lb., blue eyes, brown hair, a Boy Scout patrol leader.
