DescriptionScott-Hagen-Farmer-Haydon-1938.jpg	English: Photograph of Martha Scott, Uta Hagen, Frances Farmer and Julie Haydon, whose performances during the 1937–38 season were cited for excellence in the theatre by Stage Caption reads as follows: Because the season brought us these four young actresses, each in her own way radiant and unforgettable. Because Our Town brought us Martha Scott, fresh and bursting with the hope of youth. Because The Sea Gull brought us Uta Hagen, stately, eloquent, with a deep fire. Because Golden Boy brought us Frances Farmer, cool, lovely, thoughtfully resigned to an imperfect life. Because Shadow and Substance brought us Julie Haydon, wrapped in the pale majestic glow of faith that passes all understanding. Because the four of them proved again that nothing, not even beauty, can take the place of sincerity and simplicity in acting.

An obituary for publisher John Hanrahan appeared in The New York Times on March 23, 1964, reading in part as follows:

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.
