REVIEW AND FORECAST 359 mercial, theatrical, journalistic neighbors. Youth will be served. Only the senile have ceased to look ahead. What we mean when we say "future," is "youth I" And there is in the motion picture — art, science, or industry — an element that cannot age : the eternal spirit of play. The heart and the head will hunger forever after the games and delights of life; and in this sport that turns existence into enchantment, the eye is master of the revels. The present is sliding from us as we dream and act. The past, for its achievement, is so brief ! Is not our industry, almost entirely, a figure beyond? As with the growing boy, the blossoming girl, our history has hardly yet been lived, but stretches still uncertainly and gloriously before us.
