Thurber Photos With Thurber Carnival Cast Members
New to me are a few photos in the New York Public Library Digital Collections. James Thurber is shown with the Thurber Carnival director, Burgess Meredith, and one of the play’s leads, Tom Ewell. I’m showing just one above (photo credit: Friedman- Abeles). Link here to see the others.
Related…Video: Here’s Thurber (with Mr. Meredith) receiving a “Special Tony Award” for A Thurber Carnival at the 1960 14th Tony Awards show. The Tony was presented by Thurber’s college friend (and later collaborator on The Male Animal), Elliot Nugent. The Thurber section begins at the 22:36 mark.
