'r'7r" ft r'r wfj'rw0'i- PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1998 OBITUARIES DOROTHY STICKNEY DR. LEONARD LAUFE i Leading obstetrician gynecologist; settled, he and other doctors aboard offered their services, patching' up the injured and scribbling notes on KinlofToc nrr octc en fiitnro ntira- Famed Broadway character actress givers would know what they had staying in the cast for several weeks. The following year, they played the Days again, in the sequel, "Life with Mother," and that play ran for a year. Miss Stickney was born in Dickinson, N.D. Her father, Victor Hugo Stickney, a doctor who made calls on horseback, was one of the first 10 members elected to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Stage-struck from an early age, she studied at the North Western Dramatic School in Minneapolis, sang and danced as one of the four "Southern Belles" in vaudeville, and acted with various stock companies. When she came to New York in the 1920s, she was turned down for so many roles that she wrote a poem about the experience. The poem, called "You're Not the Type," was published in Liberty magazine and was the beginning of her sideline literary career. For two summers, she was the featured ingenue in summer stock at the Lakewood Theater, then returned to New York to look for work. In New York, she met Lindsay, who was writing vaudeville sketches.

When he was hired to direct the next summer at Lakewood, he was told he could choose his own company, except for the ingenue, a role reserved for the popular Miss Stickney. They were married in After making her Broadway debut in 1926 in a small role in "The Squall," she soon became known for playing eccentric characters and was in one hit after another. She was Liz, a mad scrub woman, in "Chicago," the first Broadway show directed by George Abbott. In "The Front Page," she created the role of Mollie Molloy, the woman who jumps out an open courthouse window. That was followed by George Kelly's "Philip Goes Forth," Rose Franken's "Another Language" (her first important role), PaulOsborn's "On Borrowed Time" and many other plays.

Her husband died in 1968. In 1973, Miss Stickney returned to the stage and made her Broadway musical debut in "Pippin," taking over the role of Berthe after the death of Irene Ryan. She sang one song, "No Time at All." studying forceps and collected antique instruments and old textbooks devoted to obstetrics and gynecology. Combining work and home life was not unusual for Dr. Laufe.

When his children were in middle school, they were already learning about their father's work. "I had the smallest head in the house, so for the textbook illustrator, I would get on the floor and my father would show on my head the appropriate placement of the forceps," said his youngest daughter, lawyer Jenny Laufe Gerrard. She and her sister, Lucy Laufe, would come home from school wondering whom they'd find at their dinner table; their parents loved entertaining visiting doctors and students from all over the world. "My oldest daughter is an anthropologist, and she says her interest in other cultures came from our dining room table," said Symoine Laufe, who has a master's degree in biology. The doctor held a bachelor's degree in science from the University of Pittsburgh and graduated from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1949.

He returned to Pittsburgh for an internship at Mercy Hospital and a residency at Magee-Womens Hospital. He interrupted his training to become a captain in the Army Medical Corps, performing triage work in front-line aid stations in Korea. He returned to complete residency and decided to do a fellowship in pelvic cancer in Stockholm, Sweden. "I said to him, you can use a sea voyage to rest up" while making his way to the fellowship, his wife recalled. That was why Dr.

Laufe was on the ship Stockholm when it collided with the Italian liner Andrea Doria off Nantucket Island, on July 25, 1956. "He was sitting at the bar and was thrown all the way across the room," Gerrard said. His chair was hurled through a door and he clung to the door jamb. When the lurching By Anita Srikameswaran Post-Gazette Staff Writer His family and friends described him as an idealist, a pioneer, a genius, and, above all, a caring and compassionate man. But for a brief time in his career, Dr.

Leonard Laufe faced death threats and was embroiled in controversy. In 1974, the chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Western Pennsylvania Hospital performed a legal, late-term abortion that triggered a seven-day coroner's inquest to determine the fetus had died before delivery or if death occurred minutes after birth. The proceedings generated daily headlines, but the coroner's jury took less than an hour to decide that the baby had been stillborn, preempting possible charges against the doctor. "It was absolutely devastating," said Symoine Kamin Laufe, his wife of 52 years. "But he didn't backtrack on his conviction that a woman has a right to choose." Dr.

Laufe, 73, died Saturday in San Antonio. He had been housebound for a decade, suffering from multiple sclerosis. Services were held yesterday at Rodef Shalom Congregation and interment was at West View Cemetery. Dr. Laufe resigned from West Penn in 1975, having helped establish its residency program in obstetrics and gynecology.

He decided to concentrate on family planning medicine in developing countries rather than continue his successful private practice. He also directed a fertility research program at Research Triangle Park, N.C., and was a professor at Duke University School of Medicine before a professorship at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. His strong beliefs about women's health issues grew when he accepted an invitation from International Planned Parenthood to start clinics in Bangladesh for rape victims of the 1971 battles between that coun- done. After forceps, Dr. Laufe's favorite hobby was fishing.

His consultation rooms were covered with mounted trophies of his catches. But most remember him for. his wisdom. "He was always there when you needed advice, and his advice was frequently perfect," Collins said. "He was idealistic," said Sidney Stark of Squirrel Hill, a family friend for 40 years.

"He wanted to and did leave the world a better place than he found it." Dr. Laufe is survived by his wife; daughters Lucy E. Laufe and Jenny Laufe Gerrard; sister Esther Laufe Illson; and three granddaughters. OTHER DEATHS Robert F. Young, 78, a former president and publisher of Family Circle magazine, Wednesday; in Greensboro, N.C., after a short illness.

He joined Family Circle in 1968 and was named publisher in 1970 and president in 1975. During his tenure, the magazine expanded in Australia and Japan and began publishing a Chinese-language edition for markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Sylvester Ritter, 45, known to pro wrestling fans as the "Junk Yard Dog," in an auto accident Tuesday on Interstate 20 near Forest in central Mississippi. Mr. Rit- ter, from Charlotte, N.C.

The nearly 300-pound "Junk Yard Dog" wore full-length red tights with white boots and a dog collar. In his heyday in the late 1970s to the mid '80s, Mr. Ritter filled the New Orleans Super-dome, teamed with Cyndi Lauper on an album and had a huge television following. In recent months, he had repossessed cars part time while competing in small matches and benefits in Louisiana and Mississippi. By Mel Gussow 5 The New York Times NEW YORK Dorothy Stickney, who created the role of the mother in "Life with Father" and also appeared in many other Broadway hits during a career that spanned more than 50 years, died Tuesday in her home in Manhattan.

She was 101. "Life with Father," by Howard Lindsay (Miss Stickney's husband) and Russel Crouse, opened at the original Empire Theater on Nov. 8, 1939. When it closed after seven years and 3,224 performances, it was and is still today the longest-running nonmusical show in Broadway history. The Lindsays, who were among the most celebrated acting couples in the United States, played the leading roles of Clarence and Vinnie Day for five years.

Based on Clarence Day's reminiscences about his youth in New York in the 1880s, the play told the story of a large family, led by a frequently exasperated father tempered by his charming wife who put up with all his crotchets. At the heart of the play and of its tenderness was Miss Stickney's performance as the wise and patient mother, Vinnie, who was understanding without being overly sentimental. In his review in The New York Times, Brooks Atkinson said her portrait was "brilliant acting, both sweet and witty, with a supple response to the storminess of her domestic economy." The Lindsays returned to their roles in 1947 when the play set a record of 3,183 performances Dr. Leonard Laufe in 1972 try and Pakistan. "He was extremely brave and advanced for his time in his thinking about women's issues in abortion and family planning," said Don Collins of Washington, D.C., Dr.

Laufe's colleague in international projects. "He was an expert, a genius, and had great courage." Dr. Laufe was also mechanically adept, inventing three types of obstetrical forceps and writing two classic textbooks on those tools. He demonstrated surgical techniques all over the world, was a pioneer researcher in newborn respiratory distress syndrome, and wrote more than 70 papers. Although he retired in 1986, medical residents continued to visit Dr.

Laufe's home for coffee, dessert and seminars. Lawyers sought his expertise in their malpractice cases involving forceps, sending him videos to view at home. They took depositions from him in his living room, which was decorated with mannequins and instruments for demonstrations. Because he had lost the use of his writing hand due to the neurological disease, he dictated to his wife an update of a textbook. He loved MYERS, Mary 89, of Greensburg.
