RHYMING CRITIC WINS PRIZE ON ‘WEARYRIVER’ Josephine Foreman Gets $5 Award for Review of Movie. They are writing movie reviews in verse these days, the winner of today’s criticism on “Weary River,” now showing at the Circle, using rhyme. Miss Josephine E. Foreman of 76 North Fourteenth street, Beech Grove, Ind., is today’s victor, and she will receive a check of $5 from The Indianapolis Times. Another daily winner will be announced Saturday and on Monday the grand prize, $25, will be awarded. Josephine E. Foreman’s winning review in verse Is as follows: Anvone that comments on “Weary River” Ha’s a tiresome and tedious Job, For every time I try it Mv heart begins to throb. Just like the real impression Which was displayed so well and fine Bv the warden and "Baby” Compson When Jerry was serving time. If there is a movie fan That Richard Barthelmess can not Inspire, He better quit the screen And go into meek retire I But never will this happen As his each and every picture comes It has anew and better moral For those people poking fun. The world is full of babble Os titter and of sneer. It rarely stops to harken To the warden’s whisper in its ear. So on the river is flowing Wearily for some. Until they are conscience stricken And a loathsome hated bum. ’Tis true it’s just a picture But so very real to life That we picture mortal beings Struggling on in weary strife. But tills picture shows us plainly In acting, plot and voice That we are like a "Weary River” And to widen will be our choice. So just as Jerry Larrabee We have the warden at our side For all we have to do to grow Is—see our conscience as our guide.
