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.

1992ESB04009New York: Pantheon 1992. First edition. Paperback. A near fine copy. Proof copy. From the writer many consider to be the best reporter in the history of The New Yorker here is a book that brings together his best work. Saloon-keepers and street preachers gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks a bearded lady and a 93-year-old "seafoodetarian" who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people that Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books—McSorley's Wonderful Saloon Old Mr. Flood The Bottom of the Harbor and Joe Gould's Secret—that are still renowned for their precise respectful observation their graveyard humor and their offhand perfection of style.

Rare letter signed "Margaret Mitchell Marsh" declining an invitation to a party because it conflicts with her wedding anniversary in full: "Dear Miss Hall: Sue Myrick forwarded to me your invitation and John and I appreciate it so very much. I know the party will be lots of fun and I only wish we could come but Sunday is our wedding anniversary and we have already made plans to spend it with friends. I admit that the temptation to break this engagement is strong because I liked Milledgeville so much when I was there at the Press meeting. And also I would love to attend your party as Prissy. That is the only role my size would warrant. The costume would be cheap too --just a croker sack and ten cents' worth of shoe polish. We do appreciate your invitation so much and I shall look forward to Sue's description of the party." Two horizontal folds and slight foxing; very good condition.<br/><br/> unknown books

1937252027Atlanta Georgia 1937. One page on personal letterhead. 4to. light creasing and toning esle fine. One page on personal letterhead. 4to. To Cukor on "old mimosa groves" - "bees demented in the blossoms" -- and Tallulah. Mitchell thanks Cukor for the gift of Mary Chess perfumes and especially the "mimosa":<br/><br/>"I had tried someone's brand of mimosa many years ago but it was heavy enough to be used as an anesthetic for a major operation. This brand is so sweet and faint and the lovliest part about it is that it reminds me of old mimosa groves far in the back country on a still hot day with the bees demented in the blossoms."<br/><br/>She then goes on to discuss Tallulah Bankhead's recent performance in Atlanta which she unfortunately missed:<br/><br/>'Of course I was eager to go but the show opened the night after the Pulitzer Award arrived. The Vice President of The Macmillan Company was in town and he gave me a party that night. I hoped to see her the following night but the house was so filled with friends and excitement that I could not go to the theatre. I was very disappointed for everyone was charmed with her. So few people here had liked her in her films and I am afraid many of them went to see her play determined not to like it. But everyone was most enthusiastic about her and the phone rang all day long as people told me how charming she was. "<br/><br/>Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 for her novel GONE WITH THE WIND; and George Cukor was David Selznick's first choice as director of the film. unknown books
