Fine portrait of the great writer - the image used for his entry in American National Biography - captured by Van Vechten in 1936, here attractively presented with an autographed slip.

Gelatin silver print. 1 vols. 9 x 5-1/4 inches. The Stage Door Canteen was a New York nightclub run by the USO (American Theater Wing) for the benefit of servicemen on leave, and many stars and celebrities volunteered to perform menial tasks as well as to entertain the troops, in an atmosphere which was racially mixed and festive. Both Langston Hughes and Carl Van Vechten frequently volunteered their services as busboys there. "And he enjoyed working as a waiter at the Stage Door Canteen on West 44th Streetr, where famous artists vied with one another for the right to serve members of the armed forces in a setting that found Harold Jackman of Harlem supervising Alfred Lunt of Broadway, the sixty-two year old Van Vechten toiling as head busboy, and Fania Marinoff and Tpoy Harper on display as hostesses."
