| biography:
| Playwright, born in Paris, France. He started with monologues, then farcical vaudevilles, and gained his first success with Le Tailleur pour dames (1887). His numerous plays (nearly 40) still continue to attract the public, such as Un fils à la patte (1894), Le Dindon (1896), La Dame de chez Maxim (1899), La Main passe (1904), Occupe-toi d'Amélie (1905), Feue la Mère de madame (1908), On purge Bébé (1910), and N'te promène donc pas toute nue (1912). His work is appreciated outside France too - for example, La Puce à l'oreille (1907) was produced as A Flea in Her Ear in London in 1965. |
