Cleveland Heights Police raided the Heights Theater on the afternoon of Sunday April 21, 1922, during a screening of Taking Chances. The theater's two owners and its projectionist were later found guilty of breaking Ohio's law prohibiting "theatrical performances" and other forms of entertainment on the Sabbath. Cleveland Heights resident Rev. Joel B. Hayden told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that "Sunday movies may be justified in crowded industrial sections where people don't have the opportunity of obtaining much recreation during the week. But they are not justified in a residential community like Cleveland Heights." | Source: Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
