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.
