Biography

He made his debut as a writer at the age of sixteen with Une femme qui mord. As a journalist, he was associated with Le Charivari, Le Rappel, Le Gaulois, and other publications. Many of his dramatic works were written in collaboration with Clairville, Flan, Monnier, Brisharre, Eugène Labiche, and others. The drama of Rose Michel (1877), of his own composition, ensured his place among the most successful French dramatists of the time.
