191049372n.p. n.d. 1910. The 14 photographs in this album were undoubtedly produced by a professional photographer using a large format camera. The pictures are well composed sharply focused and unusual in their scale. They picture a family in leisure-time activities such as hunting gathering leaves and observing caged rabbits. Especially noteworthy is their time at a lake cabin and visiting Twin Cities sites. The cabin is a fine Victorian piece of gingerbread with a wrap-around porch ideal for napping and reading. The wife/mother is seen holding a copy of the periodical American Motherhood which was published 1903-1919 making it possible to date these images around 1910. The family includes twin boys one of whom is seen in the same picture reading a copy of the children's magazine Buster Brown. What appears to be a stuffed squirrel appears in three of the images. The album contains 14 beautifully toned photographs including one in which the oldest child assists a workman possibly making maple syrup. Seven loose prints accompany the album one duplicate. Among these are three pictures made at Fort Snelling and Minnehaha Falls suggesting that the family either lived in the Twin Cities or visited there. While the identity of the photographer is unknown there is a clue to the heritage of the subjects. Laid into the album is a newspaper clipping about one Marvin Hughitt 1837-1928 upon his retirement from the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad in 1925. It is possible that the family in these photographs were descendants of Mr. Hughitt with the mother or father a likely grandchild. This is an unusually nice album of family photographs. <br/><br/> unknown books
1929004602Boston: 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.
