A French dramatist; born in Lauriere, March 7, 1828; died at Paris, Nov. 19, 1888. His early comedies, "Too Curious" and "The Victims of Money", were received with a favor which led to his writing regularly for the stage; and the farce "Christiane" in 1871 approved him as one of the first members of his profession. He draws best from Parisian social life: "Panazol", "Papa's Convictions", and "The Ladies' Professor" afford typical examples. His pieces written in collaboration have yielded enormous royalties, especially "The Happiest of the Three".
