Short biography

Very young person, it neglects its studies to be devoted to the theatre. Its first part, "By the window", is played for the first time in 1882. It is then 19 years old. Its first large part, Tailor for injuries, moreover extremely well accomodated in with Theatre of the Rebirth, is worth the encouragements to him of Labiche. It Marie the same year with Marianne Carolus-Duran, girl of the painter Carolus-Duran.

The dedication will come in with the parts "Mister drives out", "Champignol in spite of him" and "the Ribadier System". George Feydeau renews the kind of the light comedy by a thorough study of the characters, in particular the mediocrity of the middle-class existences, which it turns into ridiculous.

It is pathetically that it completes its existence at the 58 years age, after being interned two years in a private hospital in Rueil-Malmaison for psychic disorders.
