Lucien Besnard
Lucien Besnard (19 January 1872 – 1955) was a French playwright and drama critic.
Besnard was born in Nonancourt on 19 January 1872.[1] He held a doctorate in law. He also studied Russian at the École des langues orientales.[citation needed]
His play Le Coeur partagé was premiered on 6 December 1926 in Paris by the Comédie-Française at the Salle Richelieu, and ran until 1931.[2] His 1927 play Dans l'ombre du harem was adapted the following year into a silent film of the same name (In the Shadow of the Harem).[3][4][5]
In 1932, Besnard adapted Im weißen Rößl, a German operetta by Ralph Benatzky, into French as L'Auberge du Cheval Blanc.[6][7][8]
