A French dramatist and novelist; born in Paris, Feb. 11, 1831, died there June 2, 1898. He began as a writer of theatrical criticism for various periodicals; but after the brilliant success of his comedy, "The Good-for-Nothings" (1868), which ran for 200 consecutive nights, he became known as a dramatist, and numerous plays came from his pen. Among his novels may be mentioned: "Rose: Splendor and Miseries of Theatrical Life" (1874); and "Hortense Maillot" (1885).
