English: Photograph of Frank Craven in Our Town, cited for excellence in the theatre by Stage magazine
Caption reads as follows: Because this was the year that Frank Craven came out on the dim, empty stage of the Henry Miller Theatre one night, leaned on the proscenium arch, looked at his watch, looked at the audience, lit his pipe, stuck his hand in his pocket, and said, simply, "This play is called Our Town. It was written by Thornton Wilder …" Because at that moment we were introduced to one of the wisest, rarest characters and one of the wisest, rarest plays in the history of the theatre.

John Hanrahan, a former magazine publisher and publishers' counsel, died Saturday in Sarasota, Fla. He was 76 years old.
Mr. Hanrahan, who had helped put the fledgling New Yorker magazine on a firm financial footing and who had been publisher and editor of the old Stage magazine, retired some 15 years ago. He was policy counsel to The New Yorker from 1923 to 1938.
In 1931 Mr. Hanrahan became the publisher of Stage magazine, originally the Theatre Guild magazine. In 1935 he broadened the scope of Stage to include motion pictures, supper clubs and other forms of entertainment. The magazine ceased publication in 1939.
