Sundays, he is an elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. In "You Gotta Stay, Happy", he absconded with $50,000 and a blond secre tary.

On a previous location trip to Carson City, Nev., the pastor called upon Porter, without ad vance warning, to deliver the ser mon. Porter makes no pretense of being a preacher and speaks as a layman. lie argues, for example, that Hollywood is as clean-living a town as any other city its size.
