There was a man named Will Hays (no E), who ran the Production Code office. Sometimes it's referred to as the Hays Office. The Code was enacted in, I think, 1929, but not actually enforced until 1934, after the Catholic League threatened to boycott films and scared the shit out of the studio heads. So, films made in the first years of the '30s are referred to as pre-Code, but they're really just pre-Enforcement. Incidentally, the handsome and talented Ricardo Cortez was actually an Austrian-Jewish emigre named Jacob Krantz; the "Cortez" moniker was an attempt to cash in on the Valentino Latin Lover market. I love early Hollywood. G33kGrrly is correct. There was no Hayes Act. There was a man named Will Hays (no E), who ran the Production Code office. Sometimes it’s referred to as the Hays Office.

You guys had a great rapport with that young waitress. The movie stuff was interesting also, although I'm not so familiar with those movies, having only heard of them. Great post.
