1923, The Verdict: People of the State of New York vs. The God of Vengeance finds the cast guilty of “presenting an indecent, obscene, and immoral play, exhibition, and drama” (66). The judge continues to say that, although theatre is not the most refined art form, it should still reflect the moral values of the American people and not the degradation of the East; the court is dismissed.
