Henri Bernstein
Henri Bernstein ca. 1917
Henri-Léon-Gustave-Charles Bernstein (20 June 1876 in Paris – 27 November 1953 in Paris) was a French playwright associated with Boulevard theatre.
The far-right royalist Camelots du Roi youth organization of the Action française organized an anti-Semitic riot against a production of one of his plays in 1911. During the Second World War, he fled to the United States and lived in New York City at the Waldorf Astoria. Jean-Pierre Aumont relates in his work Le Soleil et les Ombres (Robert Laffont, 1976) the luxury in which he lived, as well as his general lack of interest in the war.
He is buried in the Cimetière de Passy in Paris.
