Hartzell, gathered together and delivered 20,000 boxes of candies and chocolates. They had given the candies to the less-privileged people in the city. The film stars Theda Bara, and Ann Pennington had assisted the committee.
One another statement mentioned that in 1922, Herbert Birch Kingston a candy-store owner in Cleveland distributed candies and chocolates to several of the hospitals and orphanages in the area. It is celebrated in a similar way to Valentine’s Day in most locations. People exchanges popular gifts, cards, flowers, chocolates, and candy.
