Hays was born in Sullivan, Indiana in 1879 and he was the first president of the Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors of America (eventually renamed to the MPAA). While in office, he created the Hays Code which spelled out what was acceptable and what was unacceptable content for motion pictures produced for a public audience in the United States. Consequently, in the early 1930s, Hollywood movies ceased having brief nudity, very sexy scenes, mentions of drugs, unpunished criminals, etc., and movies made after this time are called "post-Code" and ones from before this time are called "pre-Code". Hays passed away in 1954 at the age of 74. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition!
