THEATRE OBITUARIES
David Eric, an actor who appeared in Broadway's Shenandoah, Sunset
Boulevard, Yentl and The Rothschilds, died Dec. 14, 1999, of a brain tumor
in Los Angeles, according to fiancee Ellen Harvey. He was 50.
He performed in more than 50 New York and regional productions, including
>From the Top, with Carol Burnett, and Candide at L.A.'s Ahmanson. He worked
at such regional houses as Arena Stage, Actors Theatre of Louisville,
Pittsburgh Public Theater, Goodpseed Opera House, plus national tours of
Show Boat and Oklahoma!
In Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulvard, he was Sammy/Jonesy in New York
and L.A. (and played DeMille many times), and in Bock and Harnick's The
Rothschilds, he played one of the scions in the European banker family.
He appeared on many television programs, including "Murphy Brown,"
"Newhart" and "Remington Steele." ; Billie Neal, a TV and movie actress who
studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, died Dec. 27, 1999,
in Los Angeles, according to Variety.
The cause of death was cancer. Ms. Neal was 44.
Born Gwendolyn Williams in Little Rock, she performed with the Steppenwolf
Theater Co. in Chicago before finding work in such pictures as "Born on the
Fourth of July," "Down by Thoughts," "Internal Affairs" and "Eve's Bayou."
She also appeared TV's "Law & Order," "The Practice" and the BBC's "Signs &
Wonders." ; Derek Anson Jones, 38, the director who staged Off-Broadway's
Wit during the time it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, died Jan. 17 in
New York City of complications from AIDS, according to his partner, Denis
O'Hare;Hobe Morrison, 95, the Variety theatre critic whose Broadway reviews
were signed, simply, "Hobe" for many years, died Jan. 22 at his Manhattan
home after a long illness;Betty Macdonald Batcheller, 92, reportedly the
last surviving member of Martha Graham's original dance troupe, died Jan.
15 in a Greenwich, CT, nursing home.
Ms. Batcheller was one in a trio that included Graham, performing in 1926
at the 48th Street Theatre in New York City. The April 18 performance, The
Times said, was Graham's first independent program as a choreographer.
There were 18 pieces in the presentation; William J. Eckart, the Broadway
designer and producer, died Jan. 24 en route to a Dallas hospital, The
Dallas Morning News reported.
The cause of death was not immediately known. Mr. Eckart was 80, and was
predeceased by his wife, Jean Eckart, also a producer and designer, and
frequent collaborator.
The couple worked together on numerous productions, boldly underlining the
period whimsy of such productions as She Loves Me, Li'l Abner, The Golden
Apple, Anyone Can Whistle, Mame, Tenderloin and Once Upon a Mattress (the
latter he also co-produced).
A memorable Eckart set in Mame had a staircase that moved while a spangled
Angela Lansbury stood on top.
The Eckarts designed costumes for the film of "The Pajama Game" and sets
and costumes for Damn Yankees on stage.
Mr. Eckart was born in New Iberia, LA, in 1920, and attended Tulane
University and Yale.
According to the Dallas Morning News, Mr. Eckart was active in Dallas
theatre after he retired from SMU. He designed The Illusion at SMU in fall
1999. His final design is for the upcoming Quad C Theatre production of
Macbeth, which runs Feb. 24-March 5 in the John Anthony Theatre on the
campus of Collin County Community College in Plano, TX; Jack Segal, 98, a
talent agent said to be the inspiration for the Woody Allen film and
character, "Broadway Danny Rose," died Jan. 12 in New Jersey.
Mr. Segal's clientele included unusual acts such as a one-legged tap dancer
and piano-playing pigeons.
Mr. Segal booked lesser-known vaudeville performers and graduated to stars
such as Eddie Cantor and Abbott and Costello. He also booked clients into
so-called Borscht Belt venues in hotels and lodges in the Catskills.
He represented Pegleg Bates, a novelty tap dancer, and Pierce Knox, a blind
xylophonist. He reportedly was linked to the early careers of Joan Rivers,
Buddy Hackett and Jackie Mason; The actor Todd Karns, perhaps best
remembered for playing Harry Bailey, Jimmy Stewart's younger brother
character in the film, "It's a Wonderful Life," died in Mexico Feb. 5.
Mr. Karns, who was also a regional theatre director, was 79 and had cancer.
In the classic Hollywood picture, Mr. Karns, playing a war hero, spoke the
tear-jerking toast: "To my big brother, George, the richest man in
town.";Arthur Seelen, the actor turned store owner whose Drama Book Shop in
Manhattan is ground zero for those in search of plays and theatrical
references, died Feb. 7 after an illness.
Mr. Seelen was 76 and died in his home in Manhattan, according a book store
manager.
The shop he bought 42 years ago, and ran with his wife, Rozanne, continues
to sell plays, anthologies, biographies and more, and is regarded by many
as the first source to go to when seeking theatre-related tomes.
Playwrights and theatre writers often appeared for readings or book release
events at the cluttered, busy second-floor shop at 723 Seventh Avenue,
between 48th and 49th streets.
As an actor, the Brooklyn-born Mr. Seelen (originally Seelenfreund)
appeared in an Ohio State University production of Watch on the Rhine
(where he was a graduate student 1945-46) and made his New York debut as
Sebastien DuBois in Deputy of Paris at the Henry Street Playhouse. He
performed in a pre-Broadway tryout of The Circus of Dr. Lao in Chicago in
1958 and understudied George C. Scott (and went on a few times) in
Broadway's The Wall in 1960. He also performed in many stock stagings, from
western New York to New Hampshire, and on TV presentations in the 1940s and
1950s, once playing Dromio of Ephesus in a CBS production of The Comedy of
Errors (1948). He had been a member of the Screen Actors Guild and Actors'
Equity Association; Magician Doug Henning, 52, who popularized magic and
illusion on Broadway in such shows as The Magic Show, which earned him a
Tony Award nomination, and Merlin, with Chita Rivera, died of liver cancer
in Los Angeles Feb. 7.
He earned a Best Featured Actor (Musical) nomination for his work in the
conceptual tuner, The Magic Show, in the 1974-75 season.
A native of Fort Garry, Manitoba, he moved to the United States and became
an international star.
Mr. Henning was one of the supporters of a $1 billion theme park, Veda
Land, proposed for the Niagara Falls area;Character actor Alan North, 79,
who appeared in films, TV and onstage, including Off-Broadway's Lake
Hollywood, died Jan. 19 in a hospital in Port Jefferson, NY, The New York
Times reported.
The cause of death was kidney and lung cancer.
An actor for five decades, Mr. North, 79, was a veteran of live TV,
sitcoms, films and appeared on stage as recently as 1999, in Signature
Theatre Company's Lake Hollywood, by John Guare, in Manhattan. In that
play, he played a crusty old New Englander who wished to rename a local
pond "Lake Hollywood," capitalizing on the fact that Spencer Tracy once
holed up in a lakeside shack to escape the world and go on a two week bender.
He made his Broadway debut in the musical, Plain and Fancy, and also acted
in Conversations With My Father, Dylan, The American Clock, Mornings at
Seven, Spofford, Requiem for a Nun, Summer of the 17th Doll, and the City
Center revival of South Pacific, among others. He played an old fisherman
in the Bay Street Theater of Sag Harbor, Long Island's initial offering,
Mens' Lives.
He was known as the hangdog partner of Leslie Nielsen in the cult TV
comedy, "Police Squad!" and appeared in many movies, including "The Long
Kiss Goodnight," "Lean On Me," " I'm Not Rappaport," "Serpico," "...And
Justice for All" and the recent "I'll Take You There" and "Abilene;"

PLAYWRIGHT - PHILIP BARRY
Born in Washington, the adopted grandson of the vaudeville magnate. Edward
was in and out of many schools, and turned to playwrighting at the
suggestion of Thornton Wilder. His first play The Zoo Story was produced in
Germany in 1959 and in New York the next year. Also in 1960 he presented
The Sandbox, followed by The American Dream the next year as well as The
Death of Bessie Smith.
But it was his study of a troubled marriage, Who's Afraid of Virginia
Woolf, which made him the darling of the critics and audiences alike. I was
most fortunate to be in attendance opening night. It won the New York Drama
Critics Award. All his other plays have paled by comparison, from The
Ballad of the Sad Cafe, Tiny Alice (1964), Malcolm, the libretto for
Breakfast at Tiffanys, but A Delicate Balance has had greater success,
although Everything in the Garden, All Over (1971), Seascape (1975), The
Lady from Dubuque (1980), The Man Who Had Three Arms (1983) were all
short-lived.

MEMORIES - MY YEARS OF THEATREGOING 1955-1999 - Part 7
1964 only brought three highlights to New York, Jerry Herman's great "Hello
Dolly," with Carol Channing, in what was to become her signature
performance for many years to come, directed and choreographed by Gower
Champion and it won 11 Tony Awards, and Ms. Channing ended up playing Dolly
Levi 1,273 times. It also starred David Burns, Charles Nelson Reilly and
Eileen Brennan, with sets by Oliver Smith; Frank D. Gilroy's, The Subject
Was Roses, with Jack Albertson, Irene Daily, and Martin Sheen, and "Fiddler
on the Roof," with Zero Mostel in what was to become his signature piece as
well, along with A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, along with
Maria Karnilova, Beatrice Arthur and Leonard Frey. Playing a daughter and
waiting for her big break, was the divine Miss M. It was directed and
choreographed by Jerome Robbins.
Touring were productions of Little Me, with Sid Caesar, South Pacific,
Johnny Mathis and the Kirov Ballet Company.
Even in Toronto, other than the excitement of Richard Burton's street
clothes version of Hamlet, and the off-chance of glimpsing Elizabeth
Taylor, the picking were limited. In spite of a great cast, Burton, Robert
Burr, Bernard Hughes, Alfred Drake, John Cullum, Hume Cronyn, Eileen
Herlie, John Gielgud, and George Rose, it was a very tedious exercise. Even
"Dylan" with Alec Guiness and Kate Reid, with sets by Oliver Smith was very
dull, and a touring version of "Rugantino" from Italy which had to be cut
severely for Toronto and New York as it was much, much too long, also
failed to ignite the theatre season.
In Vineland, Ontario a production of The Fantasticks starring Liza Minnelli
and Eliott Gould also failed to touch the original off-Broadway version.
But in 1965 things were about to change as I got my first taste of Europe.
*************************
NOTRE DAME DE PARIS
After creating a huge stir in French-speaking circles, Luc Plamondon and
Richard Cocciante's Notre Dame de Paris will make its U.S. English language
debut at Las Vegas' Paris hotel and casino Jan. 21. Will Jennings, best
known for his Oscar-winning "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic," wrote the
English version of the rock opera, which stars Douglas Storm (The Scarlet
Pimpernel), Francis Ruivivar and Jessica Grove (The Wizard of Oz).
Original Notre Dame director Gilles Maheu helms the Las Vegas staging. He
is joined by the original choreographer Martino Muller.
I finally went to see the French language version at the Pantages Theatre,
and am glad I saw it in the original language. Like opera, I am afraid it
may not translate well into English. Everyone knows the story of the
Hunchback of Notre Dame, and this rock-opera is much closer to the Victor
Hugo plot than most of the filmscripts. All of the leads have strong
voices, although somewhat over-miked, and the score is great and especially
the hit songs like Le Temps des Cathedrales, Vivre, and Le Pape des Fous
are contagious. The dancers and especially the acrobats are amazing, and
the overall opera is well worth a visit and all of the energetic cast
deserveds the standing ovation the event gets nightly.

***********************
THE NEEDFIRE
I was not anticipating The Needfire and probably would not have gone if it
were not part of the Royal Alexander Subscription series. I expected to
find it very folksy, which is was, but the brilliant dancing made up for
the inane attempt to tie it together with a whimsical plot. The dancers are
every bit as good as the Riverdance and Lord of the Dance companies. Great
praise should be given to choreographer Serjio
Trujillo and assistants Fiona McCloskey, Sara McCloskey, Sandra Bald Jones,
Chanda Gibson, Kelly Robinson, and principal dancers Tiffany Fewster, David
Meinke, Sarah Robichaud, Darren Smith and Chad Wolfe who made the show take
"fire."
I really admire Ed and David Mirvish as entrepreneurs, when there is
nothing available to fill their theatres, they create their own. I only
wish the city would GIVE them the Hummingbird Centre. When I see that
theatre, and nothing slated until next June, with a three day appearance of
the Trinity Irish Dance Company, what sadness that brings to me. When I
think of the days when the two theatres were trying to outdo each other
with great shows, and now the Hummingbird sits like an enormous white
elephant. Please let the Mirvish's run the Hummingbird Centre as well. The
City of Toronto knows nothing about theatre, and should not have their
hands in it, other than to perhaps pay the bills.

PRODUCERS - P.T. BARNUM (1810-1891)
Phineas Taylor Barnum, the circus impresario, started his career by touring
a group of freaks and curiosities headed by Joyce Heth (he claimed she was
160 years old). When she died the next year it was discovered she was only
in her sixties. Undaunted, he still toured troupes until 1839, and in 1842
he purchased the American Museum, and toured Europe with his famous dwarf
Tom Thumb (Charles Stratton). He handled Jenny Lind's American tour, and in
1871 he organized his now famous circus which became "the greatest show on
earth." Ten years later he joined with James A. Bailey circus and they
featured Jumbo, the largest elephant in captivity.
