Miss Loren was referred to as "the worst possible choice to portray a holy woman" in a letter the college sent to Metro Goldwyn Mayer International, Inc., which is planning a film on Mother Cabrini, the only U.S. citizen to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church . The letter was sent to Robert H. O'Brien, president of ¡ MGM, by Mother Ursula, president of the college, and her faculty and administration. A nun for 50 years, Mother Ursula, as a high school student, knew Mother Cabrini , for whom the college is named. Mother Ursula said last night that she was aware of the acfion of a Rome court last week in holding Miss Loren and producer Carlo Ponti for trial on bigamy charges. "I know about the bigamy charges," Mother Ursula said, pointing out that they were mentioned in newspapers. Under the circumstances, the nun continued, she couldn't understand how Miss Loren could play the part of a saint. "She may be a very good actress, but she's not the type, doesn't have the physique," said Mother Ursula. "Mother Cabrini was a small, slender woman," she explained. "Miss Loren is bulky." Mother Ursula said she first learned that Miss Loren had been cast in the role of Mother Cabrini from newspaper clippings shown her by some of

Mother Ursula said she telephoned O'Brien to protest the selection of Miss Loren for the role. She said she wanted to speak to O'Brien personally . "I was unable to talk with him," Mother Ursula said. She said she didn't know whether O'Brien was available at his office at the time. "Mr. O'Brien's secretary told me to write a letter," she continued. "And that's what I've done." Mother Ursula said no repre sentatives of MGM have talked with her or anyone at the college about the life of Mother Cabrini. The letter to O'Brien said : "We, the undersigned, administration and faculty of Cabrini College, wish to register our protest and displeasure at the selection of Sophia Loren to play the part of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in your forthcoming film of M6tfier Cabri--ni's life. "We feel very strongly that Miss Loren is the worst possible choice to portray a holy woman." MGM's assistant publicity director, Emety Austin, said in New York last night that the protest "comes as news to us." He said that MGM has had an arrangement with Ponti to coproduce the film "for some tirne." "We made the -announcement on the production ten days or two weeks ago," Austin continued. "The production of the film is still sorn~ time off. "But at this point," said Austin, "Miss Loren is definitely part of the package." He added, "She's good at the box office."
