Kay KRITZWISER, Journalist: (1910-2005)
Reporter who started out as a 17-year-old editor of a children's magazine became a fearless feature writer, provocative art critic and 'a kind of Welcome Lady' for The Globe and Mail, writes Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN With files by the late Donn DOWNIE, Friday, December 9, 2005, Page S9
When most women reporters were writing about teas, weddings and the latest in hemlines, Kay KRITZWISER was reporting on immigrants' problems, starving children, battered babies and the status of the working woman. She was among the first women reporters in Canada to compete head-to-head with her male counterparts. The newspapers she worked for were better because of her verve and insight.
"The lady knows how to bat an eyelash, swivel a hip, show off an ankle or arch an eyebrow," the late Richard "Dick" DOYLE said about her in a tribute in which he described her as the "daughter of Cartier, the sister of Givenchy -- the nemesis of Levi Strauss." He went on to deconstruct her devastating brand of seduction and betrayal as an interview technique.
"A rustle of silk announces her arrival, a breathless voice begins the interview, a laugh like Bacall's punctuates the questions. Tiny gasps greet the most mundane of responses to her guileless prodding into the dark recesses of the hapless fellow on the other side of her note pad. How gently she applauds the confession, how sympathetically she receives the acknowledged weakness.... Until the interview appears in print."
Veteran Globe journalist Michael VALPY remembers meeting her in the 1960s. "Kay was an incredibly elegant, warm, sophisticated woman, a female boulevardier with a healthy soupçon of Auntie Mame. She dressed very stylishly. I recall seeing her at events in hat and gloves -- I mean, not decades ago but as a matter of course. She was a rarity in journalism, an intellectual, well-read, an engaging conversationalist. I think of her as sparkling."
None of that famous style belies her success as a fearless feature writer and an engaging and provocative art critic. Art historian David Silcox, now president of Sotheby's Canada, predated Ms. KRITZWISER as an art critic at The Globe. "She was a very, very good reporter, more than a critic, but she was always curious and she loved writing about art and artists. She was somebody who was known and respected and liked by artists, curators and collectors."
Former Globe art critic John Bentley MAYS met her in the newsroom after he was appointed art critic of The Globe in 1980. "I came upon this birdlike lady with sharp clear eyes and a great smile and she said 'I'm Kay KRITZWISER,' he said. "That meant something to me because she was the witness to a generation of Toronto and Canadian artists dominated by Harold Town and the Isaacs Gallery."
She was a great chronicler of that period, he said, as a feature writer who could do wonderful interviews. "She knew the game and the players very well."
Kathleen Alice MULLAN was born in Regina five years after Saskatchewan joined Confederation and while Sir Wilfrid Laurier was prime minister. She was one of seven children of Joseph MULLAN, an Englishman who had served in the Boer War before immigrating to Canada, and his wife Lucy.
Ms. KRITZWISER began writing as a teenager, submitting articles to The Torchbearers Magazine, a supplement designed to encourage young writers that was part of the Regina Leader-Post's Saturday edition. After taking a secretarial course, she worked for an insurance company before being appointed, at the age of 17, the editor of the Leader-Post's young people's magazine.
She became a full-time reporter, but quit in 1933 to marry Harold H. KRITZWISER, a reporter and editorial writer at the paper. He was in his early 40s when he died of a heart attack in 1946, leaving Ms. KRITZWISER with a six-year-old son, David Erik to raise.
She went back to the Leader-Post as an editorial writer and wrote K.M.K.'s column three times a week. It appeared on the editorial page and was "about anything and everything" that caught her fancy, but usually about social and current affairs, according to her son, who is now a freelance writer in Vancouver. She was hired away by The Globe and Mail as a feature writer in 1956.
The late Oakley DALGLEISH was editor of the newspaper at the time, but her real mentor was the late Dick DOYLE, who was the first managing editor of the Weekly, The Globe magazine that began publication on May 4, 1957.
In his memoirs, Hurley-Burly, Mr. DOYLE recalled assigning her to write "the human side" of a big series on immigration. She was "a kind of Welcome Lady who gave special attention to the day-by-day problems of the newcomers and their old Canadian neighbours, the resident White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestants who didn't always know what to expect of the recent arrivals," Mr. DOYLE wrote. He said her major impact came, though, with a series on child welfare, "The One Who Never Grew Up."
Ms. KRITZWISER had a distinctive style that defied the conventional rules of daily journalism. She spurned the "who, what, where, when and how" first paragraph, preferring instead a scene-setter or an anecdote that would get the reader into the story. The essential facts would still be there, but the reader was permitted to swallow them in small gulps while she told her story.
"When Shirley Ann Barnhardt, in the first few weeks of her life, went to live in one of the Sunset cabins on Highway 17, a mile west of the town of Pembroke in Renfrew County, there were still a few stubborn roses blooming among the painted jockeys and ornamental birds in the circular garden," she wrote in a classic example of her style. "The hills of the upper Ottawa Valley were a backdrop for the white frame cabin and not too far away ran the Ottawa River. It promised to be a fine place to put out a baby's pram come the next summer."
She followed up that painterly opening with a zinger of a second paragraph: "When Shirley Ann Barnhardt died on January 27 in the seventh month of her life of malnutrition, dehydration and pneumonia, an icy wind blew in a broken window of the squalid cabin and the rose bushes scraped in the wind above the snow. A dog sniffed at frozen garbage outside the door. Inside, the cold air blowing in from the river could not clear the smell."
In his analysis, Mr. DOYLE wrote that the "poignancy of the scene set the stage for a ruthless examination of society's failure to provide even the flimsiest protection for the helpless."
The subjects of many of Ms. KRITZWISER's stories are still in the headlines today. In 1959, when credit cards were a new and a largely unfamiliar phenomenon, she wrote that they would eventually replace cash. In 1961, she spotted Metro Toronto's urban sprawl and the problems it created for the commuter. She noted, as others are still noting, that commuters are wedded to their cars and will take them to work regardless of parking costs and inconvenience.
Although much of her work appeared in the old Globe magazine, she was frequently assigned to cover Royal tours when they were regarded as big news by Canadian newspapers. She was also often asked to interview visiting celebrities. The list included Edward G. Robinson, Liberace, Cary Grant, Truman Capote, Elvis Presley and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Her byline also appeared on book and movie reviews.
She was best known in the latter part of her career as an art critic, a position for which she had no formal training. When she was offered the job, after The Globe's art critic, Pearl McCARTHY, died in 1965, she said, "I don't know anything about art," according to her son. "Well, you can learn," her son remembers Mr. DOYLE retorting.
She held the post for a decade until she retired in 1975. Turning 65 didn't mean she stopped working. She went to India, China, and South America, either privately or on assignment as a travel writer, for The Globe and other outlets. As well, she wrote extensively about the arts, read widely and kept up with a wide circle of Friends, until illness finally slowed her down in her 90s.
Kay KRITZWISER was born in Regina, Saskatchewan., on February 25, 1910. She died in Toronto yesterday of cancer. She was 95. She leaves her son David and his wife. A memorial service is being planned in Toronto.

Mr. MUZZO made his mark
Legacy of one of Toronto's most prolific builders shows a knack for 'the next big thing'
By John Bentley MAYS, Friday, December 16, 2005, Page G2
The name of Toronto developer Marco MUZZO, who died earlier this month at age 73, will be linked forever to the suburban sprawl that overwhelmed the small towns and farms of the Golden Horseshoe in the second half of the 20th century.
Mr. MUZZO was not, of course, single-handedly responsible for creating this phenomenon. Millions of us, through the tax-hungry governments we elected and the wasteful lifestyles we preferred, played our parts in the suburbanization of Southern Ontario.
He was one of a handful of powerful Toronto developers who gave many people what they wanted, and kept on giving it to them long after the social and environmental downsides of suburbia became obvious to anyone who cared to look at the balance sheet. But Mr. MUZZO lived long enough to witness the onset of a certain popular disillusionment with post-war mass housing ideas, and the rise of a new kind of consumer taste.
Home buyers coming into the market were looking for houses and streetscapes more old-fashioned than the carpets of ranch-styles and the cul-de-sacs that characterized suburbia for decades. They were impressed by arguments about sustainability and environmental friendliness.
The developer correctly guessed that the architectural industry growing up to meet this new demand -- the whole kit of notions now known as "new urbanism" -- would be the next big thing in large-scale, low-density residential design.
The commercial success of the Beach Neighbourhood, the spacious new urbanist development in east-end Toronto launched by Mr. MUZZO and partners in the 1990s, is proof that his instincts about consumer desire were correct. Of his many projects, the Beach Neighbourhood will almost certainly endure as the most important monument to his ability to understand and satisfy the new consumer of the late 20th century.
Yet what are we to make of Mr. MUZZO's best-known legacy?
The new urbanism of the Beach Neighbourhood is not original. It was inspired by the dare-to-be-traditional tendency that, by 1980, was powerfully affecting every aspect of popular American and Canadian culture, from politics (neo-conservatism) to architecture (postmodernism) As interpreted by some developers, new urbanism was largely a matter of marketing the look of small-town U.S.A., circa 1900, to contemporary North American home buyers.
It was a translation into architecture of a notion Hollywood and television had long been selling us: Way back when, folks enjoyed the simplicity, civility and community that's well-nigh vanished from city life nowadays. If you couldn't turn back the clock, you could buy the fantasy of a gentler world, or at least a spot on an old-looking street that mightily recalled such a world.
But new urbanism always had more going for it than sentimentality. The philosophers of the movement rightly believed that many principles of small-town American design were sound, and could be salvaged. Walkable streets and neighbourhoods, for example, were and are good things. Corner stores -- replaced by strip malls or simply banished during the heyday of car-dominated suburbia -- should be revived, to encourage neighbourliness and casual socializing, and to make us inclined to use cars less.
Could new urbanism's dreams come true on a stretch of dilapidated land on Toronto's east end? Five years ago, when I first visited the project, I wasn't sure. Only a few blocks of housing had been established, and something like a streetscape was only beginning to emerge. The 80-acre site had been a race track for 140 years before 1993, when the Ontario Jockey Club sold it to Mr. MUZZO and Fred DE GASPERIS. Despite the new construction and the general satisfaction of homeowners I talked to, the lakeshore property still had the dusty, beaten-down feel of a sports field.
These days, the muddy wasteland that just recently stretched west from Northern Dancer Boulevard to Coxwell Avenue is, at least in summer, a large urban park in the luxuriant, romantic style now fashionable among planners, with various habitats ranging from froggy marshes to hard lawns, and meandering paths everywhere.
And on the built-up part of the site, east of Northern Dancer, the tentative fingers of street that I saw in 2000 have grown and gotten a firm grip on the land.
Neo-traditional housing and well-proportioned roadways now cover almost every square metre in the area bounded by Lake Shore Boulevard East, Queen Street East, Northern Dancer and Woodbine Avenue.
The so-called "painted ladies" -- the colourful four-storey townhouses standing opposite Ashbridge's Bay, buildings Mr. MUZZO took considerable pride in -- seem at home on the southern edge of the Beach Neighbourhood.
Walking around the district, you get the sense that it works for the people who live there -- which, I imagine, is the comment on his handiwork that Marco MUZZO would like best.
