links Plot Father Charles Chuck OMalley an incoming priest from East St Louis arrives in New York City with an unconventional style that will transform the parish life of St Dominics Church On his first day OMalley gets into a series of mishaps his informal appearance and attitude make a poor impression with the elder pastor Father Fitzgibbon The very traditional Fitzgibbon is further put off by OMalleys recreational habits particularly his golfplaying and his friendship with the even more casual Father Timmy ODowd In a discussion between OMalley and ODowd without Fitzgibbon present it is revealed that OMalley was sent by the bishop to take charge of the affairs of the parish but that Fitzgibbon is to remain as pastor To spare Fitzgibbons feelings the older pastor is kept unaware of A series of events highlights the difference between OMalley and Fitzgibbons styles as they deal with events like a parishioner being evicted and a young woman named Carol James having run away from home The most consequential difference of opinion between OMalley and Fitzgibbon arises in their handling of the youth of the church many of whom are consistently getting into trouble with the law in a gang led by Tony Scaponi Fitzgibbon is inclined to look the other way siding with the boys because of their frequent church attendance OMalley seeks to make inroads into the boys lives befriending The noise of the practicing choir annoys Fitzgibbon who finally decides to go to the bishop and ask for OMalley to be transferred away In the course of the conversation Fitzgibbon infers the bishops intention to put OMalley in charge of the parish To avoid an uncomfortable situation instead of making his initial request Fitzgibbon asks the bishop to put OMalley in charge and then resigned to his fate of losing control over the church he informs OMalley of his new role A distressed Fitzgibbon then runs away leading to a search He returns late at night and as OMalley puts the older priest to bed the two begin to bond They discuss Fitzgibbons longputoff desire to go to Ireland and see his mother whom hes not seen since he left Ireland as a young priest to come to America and who is now over 90 OMalley puts Fitzgibbon to sleep with an Irish lullaby Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral OMalley runs into Jenny Tuffel an old girlfriend whom he left to join the priesthood Jenny now has a successful career with the Metropolitan Opera performing under the stage name Genevieve Linden As she prepares to go onstage as the lead in a performance of Carmen the two discuss their past and she learns that her world travels with a previous opera company caused her to miss his letter explaining he had entered the priesthood OMalley next pays a visit to Carol who is now suspected of living in sin with Ted Haines Jr the son of the churchs mortgageholder Ted Haines Sr On this visit OMalley describes to the young couple his calling in life to go his way which to him means to follow after the joyous side of religion and lead others to do the same He performs for them the song Going My Way which he wrote on this theme Jenny visits OMalley at the church sees the boys choir and reads the sheet music of Going My Way She OMalley and Father ODowd devise a plan to rent out the Metropolitan perform Going My Way with the choir and a full orchestra then sell the rights to the song thereby saving the church from its financial woes The plan fails as the music executive brought on to hear the song does not believe it will sell The choir decides to make the most of its opportunity on the grand stage and sings another song Swinging on a Star The executive overhears the song and decides to buy it providing enough money to pay off the church mortgage With the church affairs in order OMalley and Fitzgibbon go on a golf course together Just as everything seems to have fallen into place though the parish church is damaged in a massive fire OMalley prepares to move on to a new assignment from the bishop He leaves ODowd to be Fitzgibbons new assistant putting Tony Scaponi in charge of the choir On Christmas Eve parishioners gather in a temporary church for a service that also serves as OMalleys farewell As a goingaway present OMalley has sent for Fitzgibbons mother from Ireland As mother and son embrace for the first Cast Bing Crosby as Father Chuck OMalley Barry Fitzgerald as

Los Angeles California parking lot Reception According to The New York Times Going My Way was the best of Crosbys career which is saying a lot for a performer who has been one of the steadiest joys of the screen But in this Leo McCarey filmhe has definitely found his sturdiest role to date The New York Times critic Bosley Crowther criticized the films length while lauding Crosby and noting that he has been stunningly supported by Barry Fitzgerald who plays one of the warmest characters the screen has ever known As a matter of fact it is a cruel slight to suggest that this is Mr Crosbys show It is his and Mr Fitzgeralds together And they make it one of the rare delights of the year Variety liked the film saying Bing Crosby gets a tailormade role in Going My Way and with major assistance from Barry Fitzgerald and Rise Stevens clicks solidly to provide topnotch entertainment for wide audience appeal Picture will hit hefty biz on all bookingIntimate scenes between Crosby and Fitzgerald dominate throughout with both providing slick characterizationsCrosbys song numbers include three new tunes by Johnny Burke and James Van Heusen Going My Way Would You Like to Swing on a Star and Day After Forever Trio are topgrade and due for wide pop appeal due to cinch recording and airings by Bing He also delivers Ave Maria Adeste Fideles and Silent Night in addition to a lively Irishthemed song Tooralooralooral with boys choir accompaniment Awards At the 17th Academy Awards Going My Way was nominated for 10 Academy Awards including two for Barry Fitzgerald whose work on the film was

extensively and gave many recitals where he was often accompanied by his brother Józef on piano In 1847 he published his first opus a Grand Caprice Fantastique the start of a catalogue of 24 opus numbers When his engagement to Isabella Hampton was opposed by her parents Wieniawski wrote Légende Op 17 this work helped her parents change their mind and the couple married in 1860 At the invitation of Anton Rubinstein Wieniawski moved to St Petersburg where he lived from 1860 to 1872 taught many violin students and led the Russian Musical Society s orchestra and string quartet From 1872 to 1874 Wieniawski toured the United States with Rubinstein Wieniawski replaced Henri Vieuxtemps as violin professor at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles in 1875 During his residence in Brussels Wieniawskis health declined and he often had to stop in the middle of his concerts He started a tour of Russia in 1879 but was unable to complete it and was taken to a hospital in Odessa after a concert On 14 February 1880 Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky s patroness Nadezhda von Meck took him into her home and provided him with medical attention His friends also arranged a benefit concert to help provide for his family He died in Moscow a few weeks later from a heart attack and was interred in the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw His daughter Régine Wieniawski born in Brussels the year before his death also became a composer She published her early works as Irène Wieniawska but after marrying Sir Aubrey Dean Paul and becoming a British subject she used the pseudonym Poldowski Another daughter Henriette would go on to marry Joseph Holland Loring in 1904 who was among the victims of the Titanic disaster Wieniawski was a player in the Beethoven Quartet Society in London where he also performed on viola Works Henryk Wieniawski was considered a violinist of great ability and wrote some very important works in the violin repertoire including two technically demanding violin concertos the second of which in D minor 1862 is more often performed than the first in Fsharp minor 1853 His LÉcole moderne 10 Étudescaprices is a very well known work for aspiring violinists His Polonaise Brillante Op4 ScherzoTarantelle Op16 and Légende Op17 are also frequently performed works He also wrote several mazurkas for solo violin and piano accompaniment including the popular Obertass in G major using techniques such as lefthand pizzicato harmonics large leaps and many double stops Legacy Wieniawski was given a number of posthumous honours His portrait appeared on a postage stamp of Poland in 1952 and again in 1957 A 100 złoty coin was issued in 1979 bearing his image What is commonly called the Russian bow grip is sometimes called the Wieniawski bow grip as Wieniawski taught his students his own kind of very rigid bowing technique like the Russian grip that allowed him to play what he called a devils staccato with ease This devils staccato was used to discipline students technique The first violin competition named after Wieniawski took place in Warsaw in 1935 Ginette Neveu took first prize David Oistrakh second and Henri Temianka third The International Henryk

The Hong Kong national rugby union team nicknamed the Dragons is one of the better rugby sides in Asia outside Japan and has consistently made the repechages of the Rugby World Cup qualifying Rugby union in Hong Kong is administered by the Hong Kong Rugby Union since 1952 and competes annually in the Asia Rugby Championship Hong Kong has one of the oldest rugby traditions in Asia having been played there since the 19th century when British colonists arrived in Hong Kong and brought the sport with them For a long time rugby union in Hong Kong was traditionally associated with Hong Kongs Britishdescended Englishspeaking class but since the 1990s there has been extensive efforts to integrate the game to the Cantonese speaking community with a degree of success the first of these players being Rambo Leung Yeung Kit Hong Kong have improved in form recently having finished in second place in the ARC in 2011 2014 and 2015 and made it to the repechage of the 2015 Rugby World Cup qualifying though lost to Uruguay 24 to 3 They again competed in the repechage tournament for the 2019 Rugby World Cup History Early history According to old newspapers rugby union in Hong Kong dates back to the late 1870s which would establish Hong Kong as perhaps the oldest rugby playing nation in Asia The players during this era were all British sailors and armynavy men as well as police and merchant men The first secretary of rugby in Hong Kong was Jock McGregor The first fixtures which predate the creation of the modern Hong Kong Rugby Union in 1952 took place from 1924 to 1949 An unofficial interport team from Hong Kong played Shanghai on various dates from 1924 to 1949 both teams being composed entirely of British expatriates living in said port cities these fixtures ceased after the establishment of Communist rule in mainland China In 1934 a Hong Kong team played against an Australia Universities team running out victors 11 to 5 After the establishment of modern Chinese borders which before greyed the exact control a union had over territory in China the Hong Kong Rugby Union was established in 1952 the continuation of British rule in China as well as the flow of immigrants and capital from the mainland as well as Hong Kong establishing itself as a major port allowed the game to flourish albeit mostly restricted to the white British community During this time frame the first official fixtures under the union took place Hong Kong first received a NZ Universities team in 1958 losing 47 to nil In 1958 Larry Abel one of Hong Kongs earliest rugby pioneers established mini rugby programmes and tournaments and has been played annually to this day In 1968 Hong Kong was one of the charter nations of the Asian Rugby Football Union the others being Japan Malaysia Singapore Sri Lanka South Korea and Thailand Hong Kong won its first official fixture against Japan in 1969 by the score of 24 to 22 in Tokyo 1970s During the 1970s Hong Kong played against many of its other Asian neighbors which had a rugby history these nations being Japan South Korea Chinese Taipei Thailand Malaysia Sri Lanka and Singapore Hong Kong enjoyed and endured mixed success against its neighbors finishing second in 1972 only to lose to Japan 16 to nil on home soil In 1976 the first ever edition of the Hong Kong Sevens was established which was pivotal in strengthening the sport in Hong Kong The concept was discussed by business partners Ian Gow and Tokkie Smith who wanted to promote a viable rugby product in Asia The first sponsors of this event were Cathay Pacific and Rothmans International later replaced by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation The first sides at this competition were Asian as well as 2 representative sides from Australia and New Zealand Soon the competition grew to include teams from around the world before becoming an official part of the Rugby Sevens calendar 1980s1990s During the 1980s Hong Kong lagged behind Japan and South Korea in terms of competition Hong Kong was consistently beating other Asian nations but consistently finished in third places whereas Japan and Hong Kong were consistently vying for the top crown Hong Kong officially joined the IRB in 1988 allowing Hong Kong to compete in the Rugby World Cup though they did not enter the competition to qualify for 1991 The 1990s proved to be a much more fruitful decade for Hong Kong Hong Kong played its first ever test match against a nonAsiaPacific opponent in 1992 losing 16 to 23 to the United States in 1992 in Boxer Stadium San Francisco In the same year Hong Kong finally broke through and reached the final of the Asia Rugby Championship beating South Korea 20 to 13 before losing to Japan 9 to 37 Some notable players during the 1990s

Cup in 1995 being drawn with Thailand and Singapore in its group Hong Kong lost its opening fixture to South Korea 28 to 17 before beating its other opponents Hong Kong therefore missed out on a spot at the 1995 Rugby World Cup An impressive feat achieved during this campaign though was Ashley Billingtons 10 tries versus Singapore on November 10 1994 which is the most tries ever scored in a Rugby World Cup qualifier by a single player Through the 1990s Hong Kong began organizing tests against nonAsian opponents Opponents that were played were Namibia Papua New Guinea the United States and Canada Hong Kong recorded some famous victories beating the USA Eagles on three occasions in the decade including a victory in San Francisco and beating Canada in 1998 Despite major improvement in the 1990s Hong Kong bottomed out in its qualifying group for the 1999 Rugby World Cup Hong Kong beat its nemesis South Korea but lost to Japan and were upset by the Chinese Taipei they finished fourth and missed on direct qualification and a repechage 2000present the new millennium In 2000 Hong Kong made history when they played China in 2000 this was the first test that Hong Kong played against a team from the Chinese mainland since 1949 The game was played in Shanghai to honor the old rugby matches between Hong Kong and Shanghai China upset Hong Kong 17 to 15 that day Hong Kong struggled somewhat during the early 2000s In 2001 Hong Kong were once again surprised by China drawing at 25 points each in Guangzhou Hong Kong were once again upset by the Chinese Taipei in the 2003 Rugby World Cup qualifiers losing 20 to 15 although Hong Kong beat China for the first time in that same qualification Hong Kong lost all its fixtures in the final round of the 2007 Rugby World Cup qualifying campaign missing out again on repechage or qualification The 2011 qualifying campaign was similar Hong Kong beat both South Korea as well as newcomers Kazakhstan but lost a crucial fixture to the Arabian Gulf due to bonus points Kazakhstan advanced instead of Hong Kong to the repechage For the 2015 qualifiers Hong Kong finally broke through Hong Kong were drawn into a group including its traditional East Asian rivals Japan and South Korea as well as Sri Lanka and newcomers the Philippines Hong Kong thrashed South Korea 39 to 6 in Hong Kong as well as recording a resounding 108 to 0 victory over the Philippines Hong Kong finished second and qualified for the repechage as a result In the repechage versus Uruguay in Montevideo Hong Kong held firm for the first half only trailing 6 to 3 however Hong Kong indiscipline coupled with key players not At the end of 2015 Hong Kong hosted the 2015 Cup of Nations which included 3 other emerging rugby nations Portugal Russia and Zimbabwe
