Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Cicognani stands beside Reverend Bishop Cantwell. Other religious officials can be seen on either side and behind them. In 1933 Amleto Giovani Cicognani has been named the Apostolic delegate to Washington, D.C., with the title of archbishop of Laodicea di Frigia. He was nominated by Pope Pius XI. In autumn of 1933 he said in a speech that the forces of evil will try and stop the holy mission wherever it goes on the mission of trying to save souls. He accredits the popularity of the motion picture as having an immense influence of evil upon the youth and a deadly menace to morals. This appears in the article, "Catholics Hear Call to Action," Los Angeles Times, 02 Oct 1933: 2. Handwritten on negative: Most Rev. Bishop Cantwell Amleto Giovani Cicoggnani Text from negative sleeve: CICOGGNANI, AMLETO GIOVANI ARCHBISHOP 1933
