The Walkin' Mouth

"What is dis, some kinda walkin' mouth?"


The movie that started it all...

So, what exactally is Newises, you ask? *sigh*  It's only the BEST movie, ever! For those of you who really don't know what it is, here's an glimpse...

In 1899, the streets of New York echoed with the voices of Newsies. Peddeling the papers of Joseph Pulitizer, William Randolph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw them carrying the banner. Bringing you the news for a penny a pape. Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army, without a leader. Until one day, all that changed...

The newsies get angry when Joseph Pulitizer raise the price for them to buy their papers to 10 cents for every 100. They decide that isn't fair (even though he has all the marbles), and they strike. Jack Kelly becomes their newsie leader, and David Jacobs is the brains behind the operation. Though at times things seem bad... they evantually get through it!!   

Now that you know the jist - beat it, ya bum!
