Critic Henry Hewes, 89

“Henry Hewes, a longtime theater critic for The Saturday Review and the founder of the American Theater Critics Association, died at his home in Manhattan on Tuesday. He was 89… A past president of the New York Drama Critics Circle and the Drama Desk, and the editor from 1960 to 1964 of the “Best Plays” anthology, Mr. Hewes was also proud of his suggestion to Tennessee Williams that he turn a certain short story into a play; the play was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
