Biography
The Gates and Morange Studio was founded by Frank E. Gates and Edward A. Morange and was located in New York City. Gates was born in Chicago and Morange was born in Bronxville, New York. Both men studied at the School of Fine Arts in St. Louis, Missouri. Although Gates and Morange had worked together since 1894, the partnership's first Broadway credit was Straight from the heart by Sutton Vane and Arthur Shirley (1897). The studio designed scenery for more than 50 productions over four decades, additionally painting and supplying countless others. Clients included Liebler & Co., Florenz Ziegfeld and George C. Tyler. Designers included Thomas Benrimo, William E. Castle, Richard Gates (brother of Frank), Charles Graham, Alexander Grainger, Arne Lundborg, Orestes Raineiri, and Edward Morange. Edward Morange died on May 20, 1955 in Torrington, Connecticut, after a long illness at the age of 90.
