Sunday Blue Laws Coitizens Committee against The Orphium Theatre  Lima Ohio In 1906 Censorship This scrapbook of newspaper articles, beginning 1906 to 1907, from Lima, Ohio, details the community's efforts enforcing 'Blue Laws' to prevent Vaudeville at the Orpheum Theater; particularly on Sundays. The articles have been compiled in a ledger book, re-purposed, from Sheppard Cancer Sanitarium in St. Marys, Ohio. The juxtapositioning of the Anti-Vaudeville campaign with the bucolic nature of the ads still visible through the scraps offers a glimpse into the changing American cultural fabric at the turn of the 20th century.
