This image is a black-and-white newspaper clipping, likely from the Harvard Crimson, dated October 17, 1950. The article headline reads: “Fogg Shows Theatre Settings and Costumes.”
The article reports on an exhibition at the Fogg Museum showcasing more than 200 costume and set designs. These designs were created by three Harvard graduates who were active in theater:
The article notes that an accompanying lecture series will be held in Fogg’s Large Lecture Room on topics including stage design, music in theater, and contemporary theater. The first lecture is scheduled for October 20.
Robert Edmond Jones: His earliest work in the exhibit is a model for the 1915 production of “A Man Who Married a Dumb Wife,” which introduced a new concept of stagecraft to America. Other works include sets for “Hamlet” (1923) and Eugene O’Neill’s plays such as “Mourning Becomes Electra” and “Ah, Wilderness.” Two larger-than-life puppets designed for the Harvard Glee Club’s “Oedipus Rex” are also displayed — shown in the accompanying photograph.
Lee Simonson: A founder of the Theatre Guild, he designed for productions like “Back to Methuselah,” “Liliom,” “The Adding Machine,” and “Amphitryon 38.”
Donald Oenslager: Represented by designs for 34 productions, including models for “Life With Mother” and “Born Yesterday.”
The article also mentions that all three designers were members of the Harvard Dramatic Club — Jones as Faculty, Oenslager and Simonson as undergraduates. In conjunction with the exhibit, the Harvard Dramatic Club (H.D.C.) will present a reading of O’Neill’s one-act play, “Ile,” in Fogg Large Lecture Room on October 18 at 4 p.m.
Photograph: On the left, a black-and-white photo shows two tall, stylized figures resembling puppets or mannequins in theatrical costumes — likely the “Oedipus Rex” puppets mentioned in the text.
Weather Forecast: At the bottom right, under the heading “The Weather,” it reads: “Fair and slightly warmer today with highest temperatures in low 60s. Partly cloudy and slightly warmer tomorrow.”
Handwritten Note: The date “Oct. 17, 1950” is handwritten and underlined, along with what appears to be “Harvard Crimson” in cursive, possibly indicating the source or the person who clipped it.
The paper itself shows signs of age — yellowed with slight creases and a small red mark in the top right corner.
In summary, this clipping announces a significant theatrical design exhibition at Harvard’s Fogg Museum, honoring the influential work of three alumni in stage design, while also promoting related educational events.
