Paul Léautaud
Paul Léautaud (18 January 1872 – 22 February 1956) was a French writer and theater critic for "Mercure de France", signing his often caustic reviews with the pseudonym Maurice Boissard.
Early life.
He was born in Paris, and abandoned by his mother soon after birth. His father, Firmin Léautaud, who begrudgingly brought him up, was a prompter at the Comédie-Française, and because of him Paul first became familiar with the world of the theater.
