BeschreibungRuth-Gordon-at-Four.jpg	English: Photograph of Ruth Gordon at age four Feature titled "The Sentimental Tale of a Dress" begins as follows: When Ruth Gordon Jones, of Wallaston, Massachusetts, was four and on her way to Sunday School one morning, dressed in her best dress (the white lawn with the drawn-work and the black velvet at the cuffs), her piano teacher stopped her and took her picture, on the front steps by the climbing nasturtiums. Someone saved the picture and here it is … with Miss Jones clutching her favorite novel, Little Miss Boston.

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.
