About the author
Born in Paris on May 15, 1869, Pierre Veber was a French playwright and writer known for his comic touch. He wrote for the stage and in prose, producing plays, novels, short stories, and humorous tales across a long career.
He became especially associated with light comedy, vaudeville, and boulevard theater, and he often collaborated with fellow playwright Maurice Hennequin. His output was remarkably large, and his work was adapted beyond the French stage, helping his name travel to wider audiences.
Veber died in Paris on August 20, 1942. He is also remembered as part of a notably artistic family: he was the father of journalist and screenwriter Pierre-Gilles Veber and the grandfather of filmmaker Francis Veber.
