About This Item
Boston: Chapple Publishing Co., Limited, 1929. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on front endpage - "For my friend General Will H. Hays with sincere personal regards Faithfully, Joe Mitchell Chapple The Attic Boston Xmas 1929". Will H. Hays managed Warren G. Hardings successful campaign for the Presidency of the U.S. and was subsequently appointed Postmaster General. After a year in that position, he resigned to become most famously known as the first President of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which under his guidance published a blacklist of actors and workers studios should not hire, inserted moral clauses into actors' contracts, and published an informal list of suggested guidelines for film producers. When the Catholic Church formed its Legion of Decency and threatened nationwide boycotts of movies, Hays installed a more formal production code, called the Hays Code( later simply "The Code"), which became the virtual law of Hollywood until the 1960s. Joseph Mitchell Chapple was a well-known editor, publisher, and author, whose 2 Hollywood credits include writer for "Graft"(1915) and producer for" Annabelle Lee"(1921). In 1897 he took charge of "The Bostonian" magazine, which he re-named "The National Magazine" to reflect its expanded coverage of American topics and letters. It became the leading national journal of American life and Washington affairs. "The Attic" was the Chapples well-known home over their publishing plant in Boston, where they entertained the likes Presidents Harding and Coolidge as well as the most prominent writers and actors of the day, and , no doubt, Will Hays. A wonderful ASSOCIATION COPY. Book is Very Good, lettering at spine worn and illegible. Laid in is an absolutely charming period Christmas Card depicting a jockey on a race horse, which is unsigned. . SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. Association Copy.
