Now That Winter's Here —
"IF winter comes, can spring be far behind — " was first the thought
of a poet, and then a novelist took it for the theme of his story. Now we are moved thereby, to a brief, humble editorial.
For winter is here, in fact and fancy, for numberless motion-picture workers. The shut-down of so many of the big studios, even tho it is temporary, has turned the world upside down for great and small alike in this industry. But, of course, anyone with half an eye could see that things could not go on the way they were : with production costs mounting higher and higher; pictures in quantity piling up and piling up: salaries going the same gait from prop boy up ; time, meaning money being flung away ; competition forcing the expenditure of unprecedented sums, and so on and so forth, ad nauseam.
Now there never was a great revolution accomplished without the shedding of blood. No change, however trivial, has ever taken place without a disturbance of some sort. There can be no readjustment without pain. And you who. are down in the valley now, who are out of jobs and facing the chill of an unknown future, no matter how intolerable you find the situation, take heart. The discomfort and suffering is only a question of time — nothing else ; and when you know a thing is temporary and will pass, you can stand it. If one just finds the courage to stick it out — why spring will come again, and the movies and its great army of adherents will once more take their rightful places in the sun.
These things we know to be true.
