PAGE SEVEN C MEDFOKD MAlLi TnLTJUlSE. MEDFDKI), OREGON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 193. IE Shop For Meats and L AHEAD OF TIE EASED BYMIRTH Hal Raynor, Gag Writer for Movies. Also Ordained Episcopal Minister Holds Fear Is Poor Weapon By Leicester Wagner United Frew Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 7. (UP) The prime function of religion 1a to bring health and happiness. For thia rea son Hay Raynor does not feel It Is at all Incongruous that he Is a regularly ordained Episcopal minister as well as a comedy writer. When Raynor preaches, he Is known as the Rer. Henry Scott Rubel. To his friends he is "Friar Laurence," ro tund, and Jovial. Raynor was an accomplished actor when he and Frederic March attend ed the University of Wisconsin. The two wrote and starred in undergradu ate shows. He came to motion pic tures through associating with Joe Penner, for whom he writes radio gags. Fear Poor Weapon "I do not hold with those ministers who feel that fear Is the best weapon of religion," Raynor said. "I go on tl:e hypothesis that when you get people Into a happy mood that you can then teach them more as they are more receptive. "Every man and woman wants to laugh to have fun. Religion should meet that want. Religion does not mean only in the pulpit but In every day life as well. If a comedian on the screen or the radio can make some of the audience's life happier, then he has accomplished more than some of us ministers who dispel nothing but a gospel of gloom and despair. "It Is not necessary to be smutty to be funny. A comedian who la smut ty Is only relying upon the old be-hind-the-barn method of shocking to get his laughs. Has Been Crltlczed "I have been criticized at times be cause I have put aside my church cloaks temporarily to write what are known in show business as gags. In my heart I know I am doing the right thing. Because 1 feel that I am a 'missionary or health and happiness' the medium of expression makes lit tle difference, be It a theater or church. "After all, If & minister lectures to an empty church, he does no good to anyone but himself. The motion pic tures can increase our church to In clude the world. I, for one. Intend to take advantage of this great congre gation." Raynor took up writing to pay off the mortgage on his church, St. Mtchael's, In Berwin, 111. Paramount Is considering Raynor's posslbllites as an actor. The studios plan to give him the title role in the "Father Brown' detective 'stories writ ten by Ollbert K. Chesterton.
