The November 15, 1919, issue of trade journal Motion Picture News had this item in its section on Cleveland:

:“The Shaw-Hayden, also a 1200 seat photoplay house opened its doors to the public for the first time October 25. The Shaw-Hayden is the biggest neighborhood theatre to be built on the East Side. Nothing has been spared to make it complete both in structure, equipment, decorations or program. J. J. Mellert, who also runs the Fulton theatre, Cleveland, is manager of the new Shaw-Hayden.”

I rememebr seeing Mary Poppins there in the early 1960’s. The store next door was called Mary’s Sweet Shop. I remember buying my refreshments there.

Remeber going to the Saturday afternoon movies. All the kids had a membership card. A three diget number could get you the grand prize at a drawing. Single number could get free candy or even admission. I got a free admission once and did’t tell my mother. Used the extra money for more snacks. Remeber a candy store or something like that next to the theater. We bought popcorn there and was allowed to take it into the movie.
