Celestine Sibley, of Atlanta,
Receives Christopher Award for
News Story in The Constitution
HOLLYWOOD.—Fourteen writ
ers, composers, producers and di
rectors were named as winner of
the 1952 Christopher Awards for
outstanding creative work of "en
during spiritual significance.” The
winners, among them being Cele
stine Sibley, columnist and feature
writer for The Atlanta Constitu
tion, received medallions and di
vided $25,000 in cash prizes.
The $2,000 Newspaper Award
to Celestine Sibley was for a news
story in The Constitution which
told how a litle girl led a crowded
lunch room in prayer.
Father James Keller, the Mary-
knoll Missioner, who founded the
Christophers in 1945, with the aim
of encouraging men and women
everywhere to show a personal re
sponsibility in working as indivi
dual Christ-bearers in restoring to
the market place the spiritual
truths on which our country is
founded, says that Mrs. Sibley’s
story was singled out, because it
told how the spirit of a small child,
asking for God’s blessing of a
lunch room meal, produced an at
titude of silence and reverence,
and united all those present "in a
common bond.”
The large award of $10,000 went
to five persons responsible for the
creation of the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer picture, "Quo Vadis.” They
were producer Sam Zimbalist, di
rector Mervyn LeRoy, and screen
writers John Lee Mabin, S. N.
Berhman and Sonya Levien.
The Christophers pres ented
awards in a total of $6,000 for the
