Biographical history
"Distinguished critic born in Montreal, Quebec ... He was the first national chairman of the Canadian Theatre Critics Association and founding chairman of the Toronto Drama Bench.
He studied at the École des beaux arts before becoming a stage designer. He soon was directing, particularly for the Montreal Repertory Theatre and Crest Theatre. He was appointed to the executive of the Dominion Drama Festival. ...He began as radio editor and then was film, dance and theatre critic for The Montreal Gazette (1935-49) before he was invited to take the same post at The Globe and Mail (1949). By 1952 he was concentrating his critical attention more on theatre until his retirement in 1975. However, after retirement and as critic emeritus, he continued to cover theatre for the Globe and Mail from New York and London and as he travelled to Russia, Greece, Israel, France, China and Australia."
