| Abstract |
Bernard Keeble Sandwell (1876-1954) was Canada’s most influential theatre critic of his day. Between 1900 and 1945, professional theatre in English Canada consisted primarily of American and British touring productions. American producers often used Montreal during this period as a try-out town for productions touring to England or before their New York opening. Sandwell championed the best of British and European drama and criticized the American commercial control of the dramatic arts in Canada. The Montreal Herald encouraged his views because they fit with the newspaper’s activist, public-spirited, independent and non-sectarian editorial policy.
