Correspondence, 1922 March 22-31
| Description: |
Correspondence, speeches, and other documents sent to and from Will H. Hays during the 1920s. Born in Sullivan, Indiana in 1879, Hays served as chairman of the Republican National Committee (February 1918-June 1921); manager of Warren G. Hardings presidential campaign (1920); U.S. postmaster general (March 1921-March 1922); and president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) (1922-1945). In addition to materials related to Hays personal and professional interests, this folder contains correspondence about some remaining postal service and political matters from his previous work as Postmaster General. At this time, Hays had just begun his career in the movie industry; therefore, there are letters referencing his new job and how he is still getting accustomed to being president of the MPPDA. There is also a letter to writer George Ade in which Hays discusses how his connection with the MPPDA began as well as his thoughts on the industry and censorship. |
