Cooking A Goose (Continued from Page 7) No, the screen writers cannot be frightened by the Hollywood Reporter’s image of the golden goose . . . “The producers may be wrong, entirely wrong; but WHY disturb the nest of that sweet and lovely bird ? Why tempt the loss of those fat salary checks that are paid each and every week?” . . . That is only a hobgoblin to frighten the thoughtless. Writers happen to be people who think. Like all human beings they are concerned with money, but not money alone, thank God. Always the craft of writing has been a high calling. Since the beginning it has had some relation to life and a deep significance for life. It has entertained, it has laughed and cried, it has given the mind and imagi¬ nation a voice. And viewed as bread and butter, this craft has kept the wolf from the door about as often as has the busi¬ ness of banking or politics. We are sane people and are not frightened. Neither should the producers be fright¬ ened. This golden goose is a myth, a ghost, to haunt the timid. Let us lay the ghost and the goose with a laugh and a little common sense and courage! H. E.
