Pierre Berton, real name Pierre François Samuel Montan, was the grandson of the composer Henri Montan Berton (1767-1844), the son of the actor Charles-François Montan Berton, called Francisque Berton (1820-1874) and of Caroline Samson, novelist and Joseph Samson's daughter, himself a sociétaire de la Comédie française.[1]
Pierre Berton first appeared as an actor on the Parisian stages, winning success at the théâtre du Gymnase, the Théâtre de l'Odéon, the Théâtre-Français, and the Théâtre du Vaudeville. In 1865, he made his debut as playwright with Les Jurons de Cadillac, a one-act comedy, and carried on two years later with another comedy, La Vertu de ma femme. During three decades he would alternate his work as an author and an actor. At the end of the 19th century, he stopped performing but continued to write for theatre until his death.[1]
From 1908 to 1909, he serialized his Souvenirs de la vie de théâtre in Le Figaro Littéraire [fr], published as a book in 1913.
