Hays Code. Long the moral code of the American film in- dustry, the Hays Code commemorates Will Harrison Hays (1879–1954). “Czar” of the movies, Hays served as first presi- dent of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America from 1922 to 1945. A former chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee and postmaster general under Hard- ing, he helped formulate the so-called Hays Code in 1934 and zealously administered it from what was dubbed the Hays Office. |
