In this photo, we can see that Hollywood was doing its best to welcome film censor, Will Hays by stringing up a banner across Hollywood Boulevard that reads: “Welcome Will H. Hays – to the motion picture capital of the world – See you Saturday at Hollywood Bowl.” As chairman of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Hays was tasked with rehabilitating movie industry’s image after the Fatty Arbuckle scandal. Though not effective at first, he would give rise to the Hays Code that governed what Hollywood movies could and couldn’t show for the next 40+ years. If they’d known that, maybe they wouldn’t have welcomed him with a bash at the Hollywood Bowl in 1923.
