GOOGLE: “The theater offered a $25 cash prize for the best essay or review of the film. Lovecraft found the movie to be a "pitifully feeble & hackneyed” melodrama completely lacking in technical skill. Instead of writing a flattering piece to win favor, he submitted a brutal, four-page critique “roasting” the production. To his surprise, the management awarded him the first-place prize money anyway, commending the sheer quality of his writing."
