A French dramatist and journalist; born in Paris, Dec. 18, 1834. He was originally a sculptor, and his work attracted attention; but he put it aside for dramatic composition and journalism, succeeding in both. He has been on the staff of the Petit Journal, Figaro, and Echo de Paris. As a librettist he has written to the scores of eminent composers. He has produced likewise a variety of successful plays, of the kind adapted to the somewhat peculiar exigencies of the Parisian stage. "Gladiator's Thirty Millions". "Jean de Nevelle", and "My Comrade", show him probably at his best; although several other pieces, written in collaboration and independently, have had long runs. Died March 19, 1901.
