Biography

It is unclear when and under what circumstances this son of an attorney to the trial court for Metz embarked on a career as a journalist in Paris. Still, he became editor of L'Europe théâtrale and La France industrielle[5] and collaborated with many Parisian newspapers, including L'Indépendance dramatique and Le Tintamarre by Touchatout.

He also authored dramas and comedies, mostly written in collaboration and only part of which has been printed.

When he died aged 67, his obituary in the 23 February issue of Le Tintamarre was written by its director and chief editor, Léon Bienvenu
