Bernard Schubert was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1895. He started his career as a playwright and one of his plays, THE KID HIMSELF, toured with tennis star William “Bill” Tilden in a prominent role. The play opened on Broadway in 1926 under the title “John Q., Jr.” but closed in less than a month. In 1931 he began writing for RKO Pictures where his work included co-writing the screenplays for SYMPHONY OF SIX MILLION (1932) and NO OTHER WOMAN (1933), his final credit for the studio. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s he alternated between writing for major studios such as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Paramount and independent producers like Sol Lesser and Harry Sherman. For MGM he co-scripted such films as THE BAND PLAYS ON (1934) and MARK OF THE VAMPIRE (1935), and the studio later adapted his unproduced play, SONG OF LOVE, THE LIFE OF ROBERT AND CLARA SCHUMANN, co-written with Mario Silva, into the film SONG OF LOVE (1947). His work for Sol Lesser began with the Jackie Cooper film PECK’S BAD BOY (1934), co-written with Marguerite Roberts from George Wilber Peck’s novel “Peck’s Bad Boy and his Pa.” He also co-wrote three films starring child star Bobby Breen, MAKE A WISH (1937), BREAKING THE ICE (1938), and FISHERMAN’S WHARF (1939). By the mid-1940s, Schubert was writing for Universal Pictures, serving as sole screenwriter for THE MUMMY’S CURSE (1944), starring Lon Chaney, Jr., and co-writing the scripts for JUNGLE WOMAN (1944) and THE FROZEN GHOST (1945). In the 1950s, he transitioned away from writing, producing numerous television movies and series, including several episodes for such series as MR. AND MRS. NORTH, TOPPER, ADVENTURES OF THE FALCON, and CROSSROADS. His final television credit was producing the pilot for KEY WITNESS (1959), a game show hosted by Vincent Price, though the show was not picked up. He returned to playwrighting and one of his plays, YES, AND WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE?, about the life of Woodrow Wilson, was staged as a dramatic reading at UCLA in 1969. Schubert died in 1988.
