ARNOLD,
Alice (née
BARBER) (1932-2006)
Passed away peacefully at Grand River Hospital, Freeport Health
Centre on Thursday, April 6, 2006. Loving wife of 48 years to
Glen ARNOLD.
Mother to Zoë (Mike,) Eve (Tim,) Gwyneth (Murray,)
and David (Diana). Grandmother to Sarah, Laura, Eric, Katie,
Emily,
Angie,
Ellen, Hannah and Grace. Sister of Mary
CZERNA
and Rose BRENNAND
(Derrick.)
Aunt of Robert, Jeremy, and Victoria.
Will be remembered by great nieces Rose and Sophie, sister-in-law
of Gwen (Ziggy)
KIRCHMEYER and her family Janet (Clyde,) Kathy,
and Andrew. Great Aunt of Robbie and Michael. Predeceased by
her parents, Elizabeth Hannah
(THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON)
BARBER (1896-1994,)
and Charles FitzRoy (Lord Southampton, 1867-1958, M.B.E. (Debrett's
Peerage page 678) and daughter-in-law of the late Eva
ARNOLD.
Alice went to Harrogate Ladies College, 1940-1949, a private
girl's school in Cumbria, England where she studied drama, piano,
and violin. Alice immigrated to Canada in 1955 to join her sister,
Mary, a speech therapist in Toronto. She met Glen, her future
husband to be, at a Club in Toronto in a quiet game of 'knock
up' (tennis, anyone?). Alice was part of a generation of women
that we now identify as, 'Stay-At-Home Moms', and we became better
people as the result of the examples she set in our home: her
kindness, generosity and unconditional love. These are some of
the qualities she has passed on to us and it is now our turn
to live by these examples. Her great strength of character will
sustain us in the times ahead. Alice's interests included tennis,
music, crafts, and camping with the family, which she referred
to fondly as her, 'wilderness experience'. Later, in her return
to the work force in the early eighties, she became a member
of the Breast Cancer Screening Study Team at Saint Michael's Hospital
in Toronto. Years later, in a move to British Columbia, she became
a member of the Quilters Guild of Kelowna and had her work exhibited
in many of their shows. Friends and family are blessed with examples
of her talent and we treasure these gifts she has left us with.
Not for one minute will Alice allow us to forget her beautiful
spirit and the unconditional love she gave everyone in her time
with us! The Arnold family will receive relatives and Friends
at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener
(519-7498467) from 11: 30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11,
2006, followed by a celebration of Alice's life at 1: 30 p.m.
in the Chapel of the Funeral Home. Cremation has taken place.
As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Hopespring Cancer
Support Centre would be appreciated by the family. (Cards available

memorial. The family would like to express their special thanks
to the many caring people, under the direction of Doctor Elliot

Marion ANDRÉ,
Theatre
Director (1920-2006)
The Holocaust shaped the artistic vision of a Pole who came to
Canada and founded two dynamic theatre companies, writes Sandra
MARTIN.
His productions showcased significant moral and political
issues
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S9
Marion ANDRÉ was a triple threat in the theatre: a writer, a
director and an impresario. But his greatest contribution was
as founding artistic director of Montreal's Saidye Bronfman Centre
and Toronto's Theatre Plus, a company that in its ambitions was
a forerunner of the Soulpepper Theatre Company.
"He was a sparkling ignited soul" and "a real mentor for me,"
said actress Lynn Griffin, who performed in A Doll's House, Antigone
and The Lark at Theatre Plus. "He was very demanding to work
with," she said, adding she was happy for the training and discipline
he instilled in her because "you can often get by being really
lazy" as an actor. "He challenged himself and everybody around
him to bring their work up to his inspiration."
Calling Mr.
ANDRÉ a "very welcoming man with a very generous
heart," said Robin
PHILLIPS, former artistic director of the
Stratford Festival. What he remembered was not so much the quality
of the productions that Mr.
ANDRÉ mounted at Theatre Plus but
the attitude behind them. "There was a real need to communicate
beyond the play," an obsession that Mr.
PHILLIPS thinks originated
in the Polish underground theatre where Mr.
ANDRÉ worked after
the Second World War -- where the experience of going to the
theatre was a much more engaged and political act than simply
being entertained for a couple of hours. "He always looked behind
the easy criticism to a connection and empathy with the intention
of a work."
Marian Andrzej
TENENBAUM was born in Le Havre, France, while
his Polish parents, Emil and Renata (née
LIEBLING)
TENENBAUM,
were studying at the university. After earning their degrees,
the TENENBAUMs returned to Lvov in southeastern Poland (now part
of Ukraine), where they worked as pharmacists and had a second
child, Hanka.
After the signing of the German-Soviet pact in 1939 and the subsequent
Soviet invasion of Poland from the east, the Jewish population
in Lvov doubled when 100,000 refugees fled from the Nazi onslaught
in the west. When the Germans occupied Lvov after their invasion
of the Soviet Union in June of 1941, the
TENENBAUMs' family home
and other property were confiscated.
More than 6,000 Jews were killed in Lvov in two pogroms before
the Germans established a ghetto in the northern part of the
city in November of 1941. With the help of Christian Friends,
Marian obtained false papers for himself and his mother in the
Polish name of
CZERNIECKI, and that enabled them to live outside
the ghetto. He joined the Polish underground and smuggled messages
in and out of the Lvov ghetto (where his father and his sister
had been forced to live) while he was ostensibly collecting scrap
metal from the Jews for the German war effort.
In March of 1942, the Germans began deporting Jews to the Belzec
death camp. By August, more than 65,000 Jews had been transported
to the camp and murdered. Ten months later, the Germans shut
down the ghetto, killing many thousands of people in the process.
Marian never found out the fate of his father and sister, but
he always believed they had been killed in the camps.
Passing as a Christian, Marian had escaped the deportations and
made his way to Warsaw, but he was arrested because of his work
in the underground and sent to a German camp. He escaped after
the Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944 and was recruited by
the British army because of his linguistic skills in Polish,
German, French and English. By the end of the war, he was in
France, where he learned from the Red Cross that his mother was
alive. He returned to Poland, found her and, together, moved
to The Hague in 1946. Working as a cultural attaché for the Polish
legation, he met and married his first wife, a Dutch woman, with
whom he had a son, Tom.
In 1950, they moved to Warsaw, where he began making documentaries
and translating American plays for Polish radio. Three years
later, he started a small children's theatre called Kleks. His
marriage broke up and he and his mother emigrated to Montreal
in 1957, sponsored by his uncle.
In Montreal, Marian Andrzej
CZERNIECKI shortened his name to
the more masculine and French-sounding Marion
ANDRÉ (a change
he legalized in 1980). He found a series of jobs: helping to
establish a drama program for the Protestant School Board, directing
plays on a freelance basis at McGill University, writing for
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio and television and starting
a theatre company called Studio Six and another one called The
Freelancers. He also married a second time and had another son,
Krystian.
In 1967, Minda, Phyllis, Edgar and Charles
BRONFMAN, children
of Samuel BRONFMAN of the Seagram Distillery fortune, established
the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts, as the cultural branch
of the Y.M.-Y.W.H.A. Montreal Jewish Community Centres, in honour
of their mother's 70th birthday. Mr.
ANDRÉ was appointed inaugural
director of performing arts and subsequently became executive
director and artistic director. It was at the Saidye Bronfman
Centre that he met Ina
RUBIN, a dancer and teacher who had been
brought in to help with the dance program. They married in 1970,
and he later adopted her two children, John and Jennifer, from
a previous marriage.
After a traumatic youth, Mr.
ANDRÉ seemed to be prospering both
artistically and romantically. Coming from Poland, where theatre
had always been a forum for showcasing controversial ideas, he
tended to present thought-provoking, sometimes even disturbing,
material about moral and political issues. In 1971, Mr.
ANDRÉ
scheduled a production of Robert Shaw's post-Holocaust drama,
The Man in the Glass Booth, a play about the Adolf Eichmann trial
in Israel in 1961 that raises questions about Jewish passivity
as well as dealing with German guilt. Some Holocaust survivors
and members of the Jewish Y were deeply offended by the play's
content. There was a huge controversy that manifested itself
in telephone campaigns against the
ANDRÉs and others, and threats
to torch the theatre. Afraid of incipient violence and overly
sensitive to the feelings of a survivor's group, the board closed
the play before it opened.
Mr. ANDRÉ quit as artistic director in protest because "he felt
it was important that they shouldn't knuckle under to this kind
of fear," said Ina, his wife.
"I have nothing but deep feelings of compassion for the victims
of Nazi oppression," Mr.
ANDRÉ said in an interview with the
Montreal Gazette at the time. "Theatre must not fear controversy,
but consider it a necessary ingredient of its existence. I have
a profound feeling of revulsion when intimidation is used, or
when any group goes to extremes to have its own views prevail."
The aftermath of the 1970 F.L.Q. crisis added to Mr.
ANDRÉ's
unhappiness over the furor at the Bronfman Centre, and he and
his family moved to Toronto, where he was given teaching work
in the theatre department at York University. Within a year,
he had seized the opportunity presented by the unused smaller
theatre space at the St. Lawrence Centre in the summer and launched
Theatre Plus in what was then the Jane Mallet, and now the Bluma
Appel, theatre. As he said at the time, "People don't turn their
brains off in the summer."
His statement of purpose was to "present plays from a national
and international repertoire that reflect the social, political
and moral problems of our times." Over the next 13 years, he
mounted 56 productions, many of them premieres of modern Canadian,
European and American plays. A few of his choices were written
and directed by himself, which caused some critics such as Matthew
Fraser to label him "self-indulgent" and Ray Conlogue to argue
that artistic directors should have to do what every other writer
does: "Convince somebody else that the play is worth producing."
Nevertheless,
The
Aching Heart of Samuel Kleinerman, a play Mr.
ANDRÉ
wrote and directed, was voted the best production of the 1984-85
season by Theatre Plus subscribers. He was given the Toronto
Drama Bench Award for distinguished contribution to Canadian
theatre in 1985, the year that Meniere's disease, a disorder
of the inner ear that causes extreme vertigo and nausea, forced
him to step down. His health continued to trouble him and, by
1988, he needed a quadruple heart bypass.
Mr. ANDRÉ continued to write, always using the Holocaust, the
central experience of his life, as his theme in novels Maria B.
(1990) and The Battered Man (1996), both published by Mosaic
Press. By then, he had been diagnosed with Lewy body disease,
a progressive dementia that is accompanied by hallucinations
and has symptoms similar to both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Eventually, Mrs.
ANDRÉ could no longer care for him; he went
into a retirement home, and then a nursing home.
Marion ANDRÉ was born in Le Havre, France, on January 12, 1920.
He died in Toronto of complications from Lewy body disease on
May 9. He was 86. He is survived by his wife, Ina, four children
and six grandchildren.
