She created a salon in her home, bringing together Chinese and expats from the world of politics, arts, and intelligentsia. Famous names like Emily Hahn, Sir Victor Sassoon, and Sinmay Zau were introduced at her gatherings. Bernardine even organized events to connect Hollywood stars Anna May Wong, Charlie Chaplin, and Claudette Colbert with their Shanghai contemporaries.
Unable to accommodate all those who wanted to attend her salon, Bernardine founded the International Arts Theater, pushing audiences beyond their comfort zones with avant-garde plays, ballets, lectures, and visual arts exhibits. As civil war and World War II loomed, Bernardine's devotion to the arts brought joy to Shanghai just before the city underwent significant change.
Susan Blumberg-Kason is the author of "Bernardine's Shanghai Salon" and "Good Chinese Wife: A Love Affair with China Gone Wrong." Rachel DeWoskin is the author of five critically acclaimed novels and the memoir "Foreign Babes in Beijing."
