Machinal-1928-Setting-Cell, Robert Edmond Jones, October 1928

Setting by robert edmond jones (1887–1954) for the cell of the condemned woman in the original broadway production of sophie treadwell's machinal caption reads in part:mr. Jones achieves an unusual scenic freedom by using an open, curtained stage with a permanent background. He parallels the emotional course of the story through its many swift scenes only by changes in properties and significant details and by unusually effective lighting. Date: October 1928.
