Several photographs for <span class=\"title\">3 for Tonight</span> and <span class=\"title\">John Murray Anderson's Almanac</span> are also included here, the only references to his early theatrical work in the collection. This subseries is arranged alphabetically by title.</p> <p>Images for films comprise still frames, production stills, and occasionally informal shots of the cast and crew.
