Father figure to the Canadian stage
British-trained Stratford character actor never craved starring
roles
By Allison
LAWLOR,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Thursday, October
16, 2003 - Page R11
For
Mervyn "
Butch"
BLAKE, entering a theatre was a magical experience,
something he never tired of during an acting career that spanned
close to three-quarters of a century. Mr.
BLAKE, one of the most
loved members of the Stratford Festival Company, died on October
9 at a Toronto nursing home after a long illness. He was 95.
"Theatre seems to give me life," Mr.
BLAKE said in 1994. "I just
feel marvellous when I enter the theatre... it's one of the things
which keeps me going."
Over his long stage life that included 42 consecutive seasons
with the Stratford Festival of Canada, Mr.
BLAKE "had the distinction
of playing in every single play of Shakespeare's," said Richard
MONETTE,
Stratford's artistic director.
"He had a great life in the theatre," Mr.
MONETTE said.
Adored by both audiences and fellow actors, the veteran actor
was known across Canada for his enormous talent and generosity
of spirit. When he wasn't working at Stratford, he acted on the
country's major stages and in television and film.
For seven seasons, he toured with the Canadian Players, bringing
professional theatre to smaller towns. And in 1987, he won a
Dora Mavor Moore Award for best performance in a featured role
in a production of Saturday, Sunday, Monday at what was then
called CentreStage (now CanStage).
"Everyone loved Butch without exception," said John
NEVILLE,
a former Stratford's artistic director.
Mervyn BLAKE was born on November 30, 1907, in Dehra Dun, India,
where his father was a railway executive.
His father wanted him to become an engineer but after falling
in love with the theatre, Mr.
BLAKE was able to persuade his
father to allow him to study at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic
Art. In 1932, he graduated and soon made his professional stage
debut at the Embassy Theatre in London
During the Second World War, he served in the British Army as
a driver. It was during the war years that he is said to have
got his nickname Butch. A witness to the horrors of the Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp, Mr.
BLAKE was present at the liberation of
the camp by British troops. It was an experience that haunted
him for the rest of his life.
At the war's end, he returned to England and to the stage. He
married actress Christine
BENNETT and spent the years between
1952 and 1955 at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
There he worked with many of the great British actors such as
Sir Laurence
OLIVIER, Sir Michael
REDGRAVE and Dame Peggy
ASHCROFT.
Despite his success on the British stage, he decided to join
the Stratford Festival of Canada, then in its fifth season. With
his family in tow, Mr.
BLAKE moved to Canada and in 1957 appeared
in a production of Hamlet with Christopher
PLUMMER in the title
role.
"He wasn't a leading actor," said actor and director Douglas
CAMPBELL. "He was a supporting player. As a supporting player
you couldn't get better."
Mr. BLAKE always saw himself as a character actor who never cared
that much about starring roles, said Audrey
ASHLEY, a former
Ottawa
Citizen theatre critic and author of Mr.
BLAKE's 1999
biography With Love from Butch.
"He was one of those actors you never had to worry about," Ms.
ASHLEY said. "You knew Butch was always going to do a good job."
Known for his unfailing good nature and even temper, he enjoyed
re-telling gaffes he had made on stage. Mr.
MONETTE remembers
one performance where Mr.
BLAKE appeared on stage as the Sea
Captain in Twelfth Night. The character Viola asks him, "What
country, Friends, is this?" And instead of responding "This is
Illyria, lady." Out of his mouth popped, "This is Orillia."
To the younger actors at Stratford, Mr.
BLAKE was a father figure.
"He was very fond of the young actors and would take them under
his wing," Ms.
ASHLEY said.
Stephen RUSSELL remembers arriving at Stratford for his first
season in the mid-1970s. He was placed in the same dressing room
as Mr. BLAKE, an experience he still holds close to his heart.
"He was one of the most generous human beings," Mr.
RUSSELL said.
One of the areas Mr.
BLAKE was most helpful in was teaching fellow
actors how to apply stage makeup. He loved makeup and on his
dressing-room table he had an old rabbit's foot that he would
use to apply his face powder, Mr.
RUSSELL said.
Aging didn't stop him from applying his own elaborate makeup.
Playing the role of old Adam in As You Like It required him to
go through the same makeup ritual when he was 70 years old as
it did when he performed the role years earlier as a much younger
man.
Aside from the stage, one of Mr.
BLAKE's passions was cricket.
During his first season in Stratford, he played on the festival's
team and was responsible for starting a friendly, annual cricket
match against the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Each season, members of the two acting companies would come together
for a civilized afternoon of cricket and tea. The Stratford team
still goes by the name of Blake's Blokes.
In honour of his talent and dedication to the theatre, Mr.
BLAKE
was appointed a member of the Order of Canada in May, 1995.
"When he entered, the stage just lit up," Mr.
RUSSELL said.
Mr. BLAKE leaves his wife
Christine
BENNETT; children Andrew
and Bridget; and stepson Tim
DAVISSON.
Details of a memorial service to be held in Stratford, Ontario,
have yet to be announced.

Lily NIHMEY
By John NIHMEY
Friday,
September 26, 2003 - Page A28
Mother, entrepreneur. Born July 15, 1914, in Ottawa. Died September
4 in Ottawa of natural causes, aged 89.
She was born Lily
MONSOUR, the first child of Lebanese immigrants.
Her father peddled, an occupation shared by Lebanese and Jewish
immigrants trying hard to make a living in a new land. An opportunity
to open a store in Mattawa arose and the family moved; nine-year-old
Lily stayed behind with the great-uncle and aunt who had sponsored
her parents into Canada. She helped in their downtown business,
translated letters from Lebanon, and attended school. The decision,
made out of family obligation, gave Lily an early taste of responsibility.
She missed her parents and siblings desperately. When her sister,
Mary, moved to Ottawa to attend school, Lily was overjoyed. Her
happiness turned to devastation, though, when Mary collapsed
at her desk and died at the age of 16.
Lily graduated from a business college and worked for a short
time in the federal government. She met Philip
NIHMEY, a Lebanese
immigrant who had experienced his share of hard knocks, including
the death of both parents before his 15th birthday. Philip fell
madly for Lily, who at 28 thought her eligible years were numbered.
They married and started a family; in seven years it would grow
to five sons.
In 1956, Phil and Lily opened one of Ottawa's first diners, Phil's
Restaurant. Graced with chrome stools, tube lighting, and jukeboxes,
it was a smash success. The family moved to a two-storey house
in the suburbs. The achievement for Phil, who once shined shoes
for a living, and Lily, who had worked hard to give her husband
the confidence to succeed, was enormous.
Five years later, Phil died of a stroke at the age of 51. Lily
picked herself up to keep the business going and support her
five sons, now ranging in age from 9 to 15. She sold their "dream"
house and bought one closer to the business. She smiled behind
the counter 14 hours a day, then cried over the tea her sons
would prepare for her each night. As the neighbourhood became
tough, Lily became tougher, teaching her "boys" right from wrong,
educating us through her toil, and guiding us away from the trouble
we witnessed every day. As for faith, she always said, "I don't
have time to go to church but God is on my side. But you boys
have to go." And we did.
Lily found solace in her work and treated her customers with
equal justice. She doled out uneven quantities of home-cooked
food for the same price; it depended on how much you could eat.
She chastised grown men for not finishing their meals, shamed
neglectful mothers into taking responsibility, and ordered dropouts
back to school. She once told a motorcyclist to go home and shave,
that he was too good-looking to cover his face.
Lily retired in 1976. Her children remained close throughout
her senior years, taking her on trips and congregating at her
home for Sunday dinner. When she turned 75, we hosted a surprise
party with 100 guests. It was a grand occasion, highlighted by
her granddaughter singing her favourite song, The Wind Beneath
My Wings. A few years later, we took her on a cruise to Hawaii,
the one place she had always wanted to go.
A prominent European hotelier once told me that my mother was
what class was all about. In his circle, he said, everyone equated
their own or others' class by manners and material goods. He
said my mother embodied characteristics to which these people
could only aspire: contentment with her life, pride in her family,
and modesty in her accomplishments.
Our mother never quite had the sense of self-worth that this
man attributed to her. Perhaps resulting from the loss of her
childhood years, Lily never thought she had class, nor beauty.
While we argued this with her, we also knew that these attributes
were unimportant to her.
John is Lily's son.

MONTAGUE,
John
Hastings
It is with deep regret that John's family announce that he suffered
a heavy stroke at the end of June and after a brave fight, died
4 weeks later on July 24th 2003, just after his 78th birthday.
He resided in Reading England and his funeral was held there
on the 31st of July 2003. John was born in Winnipeg in 1925.
His parents were Furry Ferguson
MONTAGUE and Margaret
(HASTINGS)
MONTAGUE.
John was an exceptionally talented student. He attended
the University of Manitoba and graduated from there in 1946 with
Honours. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago
in 1950. At Chicago he became familiar with the operations of
the Van de Graaff, a medium powered accelerator used for nuclear
structure studies, and when he left Chicago he was employed for
two years by Atomic Energy of Canada at Chalk River attached
to the Van de Graaff group in the Nuclear Physics Division. In
1952-54 John was employed by Associated Electrical Industries
as Research Physicist at their research laboratory in Aldermaston,
England where he worked on spectroscopy of plasmas. In 1954-55
he was back in Canada as a Lecturer in Physics at Queens University,
in Kingston. In 1955-66 he worked for the United Kingdom Atomic
Energy Authority, at their Harwell Laboratory as a member of
the High Voltage Group on nuclear structure studies. During this
time he was given study leave in 1964-65 at Kellogg Radiation
Laboratory, an institution associated with the California Institute
of Technology in Pasadena California.. In 1966-71 John was again
at Queens University as Professor of Physics; and Director and
Principal Investigator for Queen's Nuclear Physics Laboratory.
As such John played a major role in the development of Queen's
reputation as a venue which would attract postgraduates seeking
a career in nuclear physics. In addition to his other responsibilities
he supervised the installation of the Van de Graaff located at
Queen's. From 1971 until his retirement in 1990 John was again
employed by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority holding
various posts related to marketing and strategy development,
an important role at a time when the British Government was seeking
to make the Atomic Energy Authority more self reliant. In his
retirement he showed the same energy and professionalism that
he had shown throughout his career. He became involved with the
Royal Society of Arts and assisted them in organising a number
of conferences. His hobbies included gardening, calligraphy,
bookbinding, astronomy, the collection of interesting clocks,
and photography. His handmade Xmas cards are treasured by those
that received them. He read widely and had an extraordinary memory.
Conversations with him knew no bounds. He leaves behind his wife
Jeanne, his sons William and Ray and their wives Shelley and
Heather, his grandchildren: Kira, Mark, William, Oliver, Maria
and Leonard, and his brother George and nephews Michael and Price.
He loved them all and they will miss him.

bridge is love.''

at 8: 30 p.m. in the medical intensive care unit at the St. Boniface
General Hospital, after being admitted to hospital on October
8. He fought hard as was his wont, with courage, strength and
love, and we his family, were all privileged to be with him.

Simone (née
GUERTIN) celebrated their 36th wedding
anniversary on September 2nd of this year. She and their children,
Kristina BRAUN,
Lasha
ORZECHOWSKI and son-in-law Jeffrey
BRAUN
now have a huge void in their lives. Jim was such a presence
passionate, loving, generous to a fault, intelligent, funny,
fun to be with and demanding of himself and those he cared about.
He was the most positive and optimistic man. We love him and
miss him so much, husband, father and friend. Jim was the youngest
of four sons born to Lawrence and Anastasia
(HRYBOK)
ORZECHOWSKI.
He is survived by his oldest brother Nick (Rose) and a large
loving family of nieces, nephews, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Jim and Simone's son Demion died on April 14, 1998. Jim's father
Lawrence, mother Anastasia, brother Alexander, brother Peter,
mother-in-law Marie-Louise
GUERTIN and father-in-law Tony Sr.
(Antoine) GUERTIN have all predeceased him. Jim enjoyed a demanding
and fulfilling career as an Architect. He was the Chief Executive
Officer of Smith Carter Architects and Engineers Inc. when he
died. He joined Smith Carter in June of 1970, was elected to
the Associate Group in 1973 and became a partner in 1974. Over
the years there have been a number of articles in the press outlining
the achievements of Smith Carter. With vision and forward thinking
all of the dedicated people in this firm have come to enjoy a
pre-eminent role in not only Manitoba, but nationally and internationally
as well. Family, Friends and colleagues have all heard from Jim
at one time or another: ...
Do your homework...
Take the high road...
Work hard and smart...
Enjoy whatever you do.
Jim loved Winnipeg and Manitoba. Underrated - Central - Safe
- Caring -Affordable - Four beautiful distinct seasons. And so
he felt a need to promote and nurture this wonderful community.
He served as a volunteer member on many of this city's boards
- educational, cultural, professional, health and civic. Due
to Jim's strong respect for the Art of Architecture and the inherent
discipline, he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Architectural
Institute of Canada and inducted as a member to the Royal Canadian
Academy of Arts. This recognition by his peer group allowed him
a quiet and appreciative pride. Jim, as many people know, enjoyed
breeding and showing Newfoundland dogs - just having animals,
horses, dogs, cats - planting trees - working outdoors. He was
an expert skier, strived to be a better sailor, was frustrated
with his golf game, loved our fifth-wheel and all the opportunity
that it represented for fun in the sun. His funeral service will
be held at St. Ignatius Church, southwest corner of Corydon and
Stafford, Thursday November 20 at 12: 00 p.m. with Father Peter
MONTY, S.J. officiating. His pallbearers will be Jeffrey
BRAUN,
