Henry Kistemaeckers (October 13, 1872 - January 21, 1938), was a prolific Belgian-born French author and playwright. ==Early Life and Career== Henry Hubert Alexandre Kistemaeckers was born in Floreffe,〔(Who's Who in the Theatre; Volume 3; 1916; pg. 745 ) accessed September 29, 2012〕 a small town some forty-five miles southeast of Brussels. He was the son of Henry Kistemaeckers (1851-1934), a controversial Belgian publisher often at odds with the censorship laws of the day.〔Hawthorne, Melanie - Rachilde and French Women's Authorship: from Decadence to Modernism – 2001 - pp. 92-94〕 As a young man, Kistemaeckers attended the Royal Athenaeum at Ostend, the University of Brussels and had published his first works while still in his teens.〔Henry Kistemaeckers. The New York Times; January 22, 1938; pg. 18〕〔(The International Who’s Who; 1910; pg. 624 ) accessed September 27, 2012〕 He began as a novelist, but soon turned to playwriting for his livelihood. A vast number of works would flow from his hand over the decades of his life, with ''Instinct'', ''Marchand de Bonheur'', ''Le Roi de Palaces'', ''La Passante'' and ''Un Jour de Amour'' among his more successful productions. His drama ''Le Flambée'' was adapted for the English stage by Peter Le Marchant and produced in London as ''The Turning Point'' and in New York as ''The Spy''. 〔(Colby, Frank Moore-Churchill, Allen Leon-The New International Year Book; 1914; pg. 213 ) accessed September 27, 2012〕 The Broadway play ''Where the Poppies Grow'', produced at the Theatre Republic in 1918, was adapted from Kistemaeckers’ ''Un Soir, au Front'' by Roi Cooper Megrue. His most successful Broadway production, ''Woman of Bronze,'' was written with Eugene Delard and adapted for the American stage by Paul Kester. The play opened at the Frazee Theatre on September 7, 1920 and had a run of 252 performances. In the summer of 1927 ''Woman of Bronze'' returned to the Lyric Theatre for a 30 performance revival.〔〔〔(Henry Kistemaeckers - Internet Broadway Database ) accessed September 28, 2012〕〔(Woman of Bronze - Internet Broadway Database ) accessed September 28, 2012〕
