another bow on the stage this week.
1t happens in the drama, Il Am My

DUEL|STS FIGHT

Henry Bernstein, French Playwright Was Victor
 in Clash Today

Paris, May 20. - (UP) - Henry Bernstein, leading French play wright, and Edouard Bourdet, direc- tor of the Comedie Francaise, fought a duel today and Bourdet was wounded in the arm. The men fought with rapiers, in secret on a private estate at Neuilly, west end suburb of Paris. Bourdet's wound was not serious. Bernstein is a veteran of eight duels but Bourdet never had fought one and is an in- experienced swordsman. After the duel, the two were still angry and refused a reconciliation. They quar- reled because Bernstein withdrew his play Judith" from rehearsal at the Comedie, charging that Bourdet intended to produce the play with out sufficient rehearsal.
 After an acrid exchange of let ters, Bernstein decided he had been insulted and challenged. The duel was directed by Jean Ranaudot, au- thor. One of the attending surgeons was Dr. Thierry de Martel of the staff of the American hospital.
