The Heart of Cleveland is a 29 minute silent film produced for The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company in 1924. The film tells the story of a family living 50 minutes from Cleveland that still does not have electricity.

He then takes their two young children on a plane to Cleveland where they get to see first-hand the fantastic progress and prosperity that electricity brings.
