OTIS GUERNSEY
The long time editor of the annual Best Plays signs a
Christmas card for John Willis, chief editor of Theatre World.
Christmas Card signed: "Otis Guernsey", 7¼x5½ closed, 7¼x11
open flat. Signed in ink below a printed Christmas and New Year's greeting.
Winter scene on front of card. Otis L. Guernsey, Jr. (1918-2001) edited,
or co-edited (with Burns Mantle) 36 annual editions of Best Plays,
beginning in the late 1960s. This labor earned him a Drama Desk Honorary
Award in 1996. Guernsey also edited a Directory of the American
Theatre, and wrote at least one screenplay (13 Frightened Girls,
1963). John A. Willis (1916-2010), active in Theatre World from the
beginning, became its chief editor in 1965, holding that position until
2008. Willis is regarded as one of the foremost theatre and film historians
of the 20th century. While producing (and presenting) the annual Theatre World
Awards, Willis also served on the nominating committee for the Tony Awards.
Theatre World, which received its own Tony for Excellence in
Theatre in 2001, continues under chief editor Ben Hodges. Moisture defects
along left edge. Top edge lightly worn. Lightly stained. Otherwise, fine
condition.
