Jean Bart (c.1876 – 1955; pseudonym of Marie Antoinette Sarlabous) was a French-born American playwright and screenwriter. She began writing silent film scenarios under her married name in 1915, but after America entered the Great War she adopted as a pen name that of the French naval hero, Jean Bart. Her greatest success came with the long-running Broadway melodrama, The Squall (1926). She had two other plays produced on Broadway by 1932, and continued writing scenarios and screenplays up through 1945.




Biography


As Marie Antoinette Vilardell, she was born in France sometime during 1876 or 1877. According to multiple US Census returns, her father was born in Spain and her mother in Belgium, while her first language was French. She was fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, besides her native French.
She married Dr. Emile Joseph Sarlabous on June 14, 1900, at the St. Peter's Episcopal Church in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. Sarlabous was from Cuba, the son of the French Consul General there and a Cuban woman. He came to the United States for training as a doctor, gaining his M.D. from New York University in 1883. He became a naturalized US citizen in 1884. The marriage, under the then prevailing concept of coverture, automatically granted her the legal standing of her husband, and so she become a naturalized US citizen. The couple had one child, Germaine Emilie Sarlabous, born in Manhattan, who married Joseph Fields.
She died March 6, 1955, in New York City, with The New York Times obituary giving only her stage name and citing her age as 75.
