DESIGNS FOR COSTUMES, STAGE SHOWN AT FOGG

An exhibition sponsored by the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art illustrating the development of designs for settings and costumes of the theatre during the last decade will open at the Fogg Museum today.

Among the exhibits are to be found the works of several former Harvard men who are now outstanding in the ranks of theatrical designers. The designs for "Green Pastures" and "Mourning Becomes Electra" by Robert Edward Jones '10, and those for the ballet "Sadko" by Surgi Sudaykin are among the most noteworthy. Mr. Jones was for some time instructor in the Department of Fine Arts at Harvard before taking up stage designing. Mr. Sudaykin came here from Russia in 1922 and is now the foremost exponent of modernism in opera.

Other exhibits are Norman-Bel Goddes' works for the "Divine Comedy," and Jo Mielziener's designs for "Emperor Jones." Leo Simonson '09, Aliene Burnstein, and Donald Owenslager are also represented.
