EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920, features Will H. Hays, an influential American politician of the 20th century. At the time of this image, Hays held multiple prominent positions, including Chairman of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Postmaster General, and Chair of the Republican National Committee. Hays' tenure in the film industry began in 1922 when he was appointed as the head of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA), which later became the Motion Picture Association. During his time with the MPPDA, Hays established the Production Code Administration, which enforced moral guidelines for American films. Prior to his involvement in the film industry, Hays served as the Postmaster General from 1912 to 1913 and as the Chair of the Republican National Committee from 1916 to 1918. His political career began in the late 1800s, and he continued to be active in politics throughout the 1920s. This portrait of Will H. Hays, taken during his early political and professional successes, captures the essence of a man who shaped American communication through both the postal service and the motion picture industry. The image, a glass negative from the Harris & Ewing Collection, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the life of a significant figure in American history.
