Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Hall had been West only once before he came to Hollywood to play Western badmen. That was when, as a boy, his father took him on a fishing trip. His chief memory of the expedition was the cooking art of the guide: put a pot on the fire, fill with lard, bring to a boil, then chuck in whatever is available and reputedly edible. Porter became deathly ill on this diet of greaseballs — and that was enough of the Wild West for him. That was way out west in Arkansas. As a gunman he has still greater experience. He owns a .45 automatic, relic of his service in the 339th Field Artillery during the last war. He never shoots it. As a boy of eight, poking around with a young chum in the chum's house, he opened a closet door, discovered a shotgun. Porter picked it up, exclaiming: "Ain't it a beauty!" and aimed it. His friend, staring down the barrel, screamed "Look out!" and collapsed onto the floor as the gun went off. It blew a two-foot hole in the wall but no holes in the boy — and Porter Hall acquired a lifelong respectful wariness of firearms. Western badmen gamble, of course. Hall doesn't even play poker. He used to take a book and read to himself at all-night poker sessions of his friends when he was a young man. The closest he ever came to betting on the horses, an endemic disease in Hollywood, was when he complied with a request to hang a wreath on the neck of an appreciative winner at the Del Mar track. "Not only do I not bet on race horses," he remarks, "but, even though I'm an actor, I do not own one." But Western characters ride horses. "I joined a cavalry regiment during the war because I knew nothing about horses and thought I'd like to learn," Hall explains. "Within a couple of weeks they mechanized the outfit, so when I left the regiment I knew no more about horses than when I entered it. "The only time I was ever on a horse was when I was working for a turpentine plant in Alabama. A local belle wanted me to go on a foxhunt. I didn't want to but she talked me into it. "The horse was gentle, right enough, but even so I leaned back on the reins so hard that I shortly lost sight of the foxhunt. I wasn't interested in being in at the kill — especially my own. But gentle or not, this horse had a malevolent soul He began seeking out solid oak branches too low for both of us to go under at once. If he missed any of these in Alabama, I was too busy ducking the ones he found to notice. We plowed through brush, went over boulders instead of around them, and pushed into stifling draperies of Spanish moss until I had it growing out of my ears. I think it was a matter of environment — that horse had been keeping bad company — his stallmate was a notorious bad actor." Hall is again the evil influence in Columbia's The Desperadoes. As seems to be his lot, he is again a shady character — a far cry from the true Porter Hall who is a Sunday School teacher and a highly respected Deacon in the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. | and, mane, too.
