Hollywood Held Not So Terrible
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 21-(UP) Convinced that Hollywood is not as sinful as some people imagine, Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was on his way back to New York today, after working two months here as a motion picture technical adviser.
Dr. Peale, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church of New York, was selected by a committee of representative Protestant clergymen to serve as adviser during the filming of a Warner Brothers' picture based on the life of a Methodist minister.
"I am convinced that Hollywood has at least one foot in heaven and with a little earnest effort might also put the other foot in also," Dr. Peale said. "I have never left a pastorate with more regret than I feel on leaving my 'pastorate' here."
