Preface You r knowledg e is nothing unless others know that you possess it Persius

Everyone who consults a biographical dictionary hopes to find within its covers the person about whom he seeks information. If a dictionary deals only with past centuries, the enquirer's hopes within the given frame of reference - should be realized. For works like this one, which deals with the present century, patience is required and forbearance and perhaps some understanding of the compilers' task. The object of the series of which this is the first volum e is to cover those creative and performing artists who have contributed as individuals to the culture of Canada in the twentieth century, and who have had this individual contribution recognized in print. The amount of critical acclaim in print has been a guide to the compilers since it is inconceivable in this era of the media and the message that any artist will be of significance if he has not received critical acclaim in books, journal articles, or newspapers. Inclusion in the series also depends on whether an artist has contributed significantly as an individual. For example, no mem ber of an orchestra or choir will be considered unless he has received recognition as a soloist, concert artist, composer, etc., that is, unless he has achieved distinction as an individual. The terms of reference of the first volum e (they may be expanded as the series progresses) limit inclusion to authors of works of the imagination (belles lettres, if you prefer), artists and sculptors, musicians (performers, composers, conductors, and directors) and performing artists in the fields of ballet, modern dance, radio, theatre, television, and motion pictures; directors, designers, and producers in theatre, cinema, radio and television, and the dance; choreographers and, for cinema, cartoonists and animators. Excluded for the time being are architects, commercial artists, creators of handicrafts and patrons of the arts, as well as journalists, historians, etc. unless they have an established reputation as individual artists in one of the categories listed above. No artist is included simply because he happened to have been born in Canada. He must have lived in Canada and contributed as an artist to its cultural life. Som e may be Canadian born and trained but unless they have had their work recognized by critics and public as significant in the Canadian context, they will not be included. Others, neither Canadian born nor naturalized nor indeed, longtime dwellers in Canada, may properly have their place in the series. Sir Tyrone Guthrie is an example of a non-Canadian who, during the few splendidly productive years he spent in Canada, by the creative force of his will and work, influenced theatre across the nation.

vi PREFACE

The first two volume s will contain about 500 entries each and in them the breakdown among the various kinds of artists is approximately: authors, 27%; artists (painters, sculptors), 28%; musicians (including instrumentalists), 20%; performing artists, 26%. (The theoretical percentage breakdown to which the compilers were working appears later in this preface.) It is therefore important for enquirers to realize that, if the person whom they seek does not appear in the first volume , he will probably be in one of the succeeding volumes . The first is, as its successors will be, a cross-section of many different kinds of artist, and within each category the compilers have attempted to include a selection of those who have achieved national and international recognition and are firmly established, those who are making a distinct contribution which has been recognized locally and will undoubtedly in time receive wider acclaim, and some, now deceased, who markedly influenced their contemporaries, locally, nationally, and/or internationally. Each volum e will be, like the first, a selection of significant artists, and anyone who, within the frame of reference described above, has nurtured, through the exercise of his creative or performing art, the culture of Canada in this century, will in time find his place within the pages of this series. Som e critics may query the relative allocation of space to individual artists and the accuracy of the entries. Because this dictionary is limited to an objective presentation of the facts of a given artist's life and career, the entry for each will depend on those facts. A n artist of some stature producing very little actual material will not have as lengthy an entry as another of equal or lesser importance who has produced a great deal. A Keats would have a brief entry but a Victo r Hugo a very long one. The artist's life and involvemen t will influence the length of his entry, for should he have many children, have attended numerous educational institutions, have been represented in many exhibitions, etc., his entry will be longer than someone who is or was a bachelor, educated at home, and exhibited seldom. Verification for accuracy has entailed mailing by registered post to each biographee a copy of his entry with a request for correction and return. The entries for those deceased are verified as carefully as possible from printed sources and/or through consultation with relatives. It is possible that the memory is not always accurate, so if an artist quotes a date which is in conflict with information obtained from a printed source (theatre programme, exhibition catalogue, newspaper review , etc.) contemporaneous with the event, the printed source is preferred to the artist's recollec-

tion. Those who have personally verified their entries are asterisked in the text. Before reading the description in the introduction of some of the technicalities regarding the style and organization of the work, the reader may wish to know under what circumstances it was conceived. In June 1966, the Information Services Section of the Canadian Library Association resolved that the Reference Division of the McPherson Library, University of Victoria, chair a committe e to investigate what was being done in Canada to collect systematically biographical information on Canadian authors, artists, and musicians. In discussing the matter, the University of Victoria Reference Division decided to go beyond mere investigation and to prepare a biographical dictionary which not only would update, revise, and expand Canadian biographies: artists and authors (published by the Canadian Library Association, 1948-52), but would also include within its frame of reference not only those artists born in Canada, but, as explained above, those who have made a distinct contribution, locally or nationally, to the Canadian scene. The work was envisaged as an annual or biennial series. A n outline of the project prepared by the Reference Division formed the basis of the University Librarian's brief which was conveye d by the President of the University to the Board of Governors. The Board accepted the brief and approval was given to the project subject to its obtaining financial support from a foundation or other grant to defray at least part of the cost. A submission was duly made to the Canada Council which, in December 1967, made an award of $10,000 to the Library to help finance the preparation and publication of the first one or two volumes. During 1966/67 three hundred possible sources of biographical material in Canada (libraries, art galleries, museums , government departments, associations, foundations, etc.) were canvassed and the seventy-fou r which maintained biography files agreed to co-operate, while others offered to set up files with the project in mind. Many institutions went beyond the limits of the original request in providing biographical outlines specifically for the dictionary, and several thousand files were set up in the project's headquarters. Once files of source material were organized, Professor Peter Garvie, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Victoria, and chairman of the consultant advisory panel, projected the followin g percentages of entries to be allotted to the various categories of artists, based partly upon various general and specialized who's whos consulted: authors, 30%; artists (painters, sculptors,

PREFACE vii

etc.), 25%; musicians (including instrumentalists), 20%; performing artists (excluding instrumentalists), 20%; for a total of 95%; leaving 5% to be allocated among categories as required. A s may be seen from the percentages quoted for volum e 1 earlier in this preface, the actual figures diffe r slightly from those Professor Garvie projected, indicating the substantial number of performing artists of significance who should and will be recognized in this series, and perhaps also reflecting the importance of television as a national medium for exploitation of performing talents. Whe n the theoretical percentage breakdown of categories was established we were fortunate in being able to call upon a distinguished panel of consultant-advisers (listed in the acknowledgments) to assist in selection and in helping us obtain and maintain liaison with sources of biographical information beyond those we had ourselves established. In agreeing to help us our consultantadvisers assumed an exceedingly difficul t and delicate task, for they placed themselve s on target for all the slings and arrows of the outraged who were not included in the first volume . The compilers ask that critics and public alike direct their barbs not against this panel and its chairman but rather against the compilers and especially the director of the project, for the final decision regarding inclusion was hers. Considering the mass of data to be culled and organized, compiled and verified, it was necessary to limit the initial volum e severely. Such a limitation does not however, obtain in the series as a whole. Like the Gale Research Company's Contemporary authors, all who fall within the project's terms of reference will be included within its volumes . This compilation does not pretend to be critical or appreciative but is meant to be an objective and factual reference tool much needed today in libraries and other institutions. The second and succeeding volume s each will contain a cumulative index covering all volume s to date. From the third volum e onwards we hope to update earlier entries as well as to present new ones. For volume s 1 and 2 the cut-off date for all entries is approximately 31 December 1968. Gathering data for future volumes will be a co-ordinated function of the project's director and compilers with those institutions which have offered their help to us both now and in the future.

Benjamin Franklin Poor R ichord 1758

In the context of this biographical project the horseshoe nail was a substantial grant in aid of publication on the acquisition of which depended the support of the University of Victoria's Board of Governors. The Canada Council award of $10,000 made in December 1967 meant that the kingdom was by no means lost. In acknowledging with thanks the Council grant we wish at the same time to acknowledge the support, both financial and moral, that our Board of Governors has given. We hope that the series of volume s of which this is the first will justify their confidence. W e would like also to indicate our appreciation for the excellent co-operation provided by the many institutions and individuals who have assisted us in obtaining and verifyin g biographical data, the comprehensiveness and accuracy of which are so essential to the users of this work. An y errors or omissions are those either of the compilers or of the biographees. Professor Peter Garvie, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Victoria, has our appreciation for his guidance, and his chairmanship of our consultant-advisory panel to whose distinguished members (listed below) we are much indebted: Art (painting and sculpture, etc.) J.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT S

constant but, for Mrs. Lawrence, this has not been the case. Through force of circumstances many changes among compilers occurred since the initial team of Mrs. Elizabeth Hagmeier and Mrs. Marta Williamson , with their assistant, Mrs. Beverley Robertson, essayed the mass of unorganized biographical data. Their enthusiasm fired those who followed : Liselotte Berliner, Mrs. Gladys M. Cropp, Joseph L. Gentry, Robert M. Gray, Robert H. Ker, Frances E. Roscoe, and Mrs. Doris Stastny, ably assisted by Mrs. Gladys K. Ewan, Mrs. Jennifer Clark Herfst, and Mrs. Susanne Niemann. The patience and care of the divisional secretary, Mrs. Judy Boultbee, made possible the final manuscript. Our recognition goes not only to those specified by name but also to many others of the McPherson Library staff whose cheerful co-operation materially assisted completion of the first two volumes . Special thanks for particular help go to Anthon y Emery, Director, Vancouve r Art Gallery, and to two members of the University of Victoria faculty: Carl Hare, Department of Theatre, and especially R.G. Lawrence, Department of English. D.W. Halliwell, the University Librarian, carried our brief successfully to the University administration and the Canada Council. Withou t his encouragement, advice, and support this work would neither have been undertaken nor completed and to him all credit is due. HMR

Introduction A s guides for the style manual prepared for the use of the compilers of this biographical dictionary, the Gale Research Company's series, Contemporary authors, and the University of Chicago's A manual of style were used together with the Dictionary of Canadian English, by W.S . Avi s et al., as the authority for spelling, and F.H. Collins'. Authors'and printers'dictionary, for abbreviations. The Canadian almanac and directory, 1967, was the authority for the form of citing newspapers in CAREE R sections, e.g. Times, Victoria, BC. Each entry is as comprehensive as possible but not necessarily exhaustive (i.e., all anthologies are not listed under CONTRIBUTED) . Because of the large number of possible candidates in the English-speaking theatre category, the qualifications for inclusion were strictly followe d to keep the number of entries within the percentage allotted to that group of artists, and professional qualifications determined inclusion. Each entry is found under the subject's best know n name with cross references from other names under which he may have appeared. Whe n an entire section has been omitted within an entry, the information is either unavailable, not applicable, or specifically withheld by the biographee and not readily verified from existing public records. In every author's entry is included as complete a bibliography of his monographic works as possible. No attempt has been made to list separate articles, but titles of those periodicals to which the individual has contributed are duly noted. Whe n a biographee has received recognition in several fields the one in which he is best know n has been preferred and his entry will read, for example, "Artist, sculptor"; or "Producer, actor, author." Whe n he has devoted his entire life to his creative vocation and has not been employe d in any other field the information is cited thus, "CAREER : Purely literary." Every attempt has been made to achieve consistency but complete consistency appears to be beyond human capability.

Those entries which have been verified by the biographee have been asterisked. A s noted in the preface, information regarding the deceased has been exhaustively researched and in a number of cases entries have been verified by relatives or friends. Education information is given in general terms with emphasis on professional education. In general only those memberships relating to the creative activities of the artist or author are listed. Information regarding titles of associations, awards, positions, etc., if found in French, appears in that language rather than in English translation. Usually awards are dated by the year for which the award is given, not the year in which it was presented; for example, the Governor General's award given in spring of 1969 is for work published in 1968 and would therefore be cited as Governor General's award, 1968.
