Died. Robert Edmond Jones, 66, dean of U.S. stage designers; in Milton, N.H.

In more than 200 subsequent productions (among the most famous: The Green Pastures, Redemption, most of the plays of Eugene O'Neill), he projected the thoughts of playwrights in vivid, interpretative settings which were "not pictures, but images," vigorously rejected the traditional idea of stage design as simple decoration. "A setting," he wrote, "is a presence, a mood, a great warm wind fanning the drama to flame."
