Douard Paillerondouard Jules Henri Pailleron (September 7, 1834 - April 20, 1899) was a French poet and dramatist. He was born in Paris. He was educated for the bar, but after pleading a single case he entered the first dragoon regiment and served for two years. With the artist JA Beauc he travelled for some time in North Africa, and soon after his return to Paris in 1860 he produced a volume of satires, Les Parasites, and a one-act piece, Le Parasite, which was represented at the Odon. He married in 1862 the daughter of Franois Buloz, thus obtaining a share in the proprietorship of the Revue des deux mondes. In 1869 he produced at the Gymnase theatre Les Faux mnages, a four act comedy depending for its interest on the pathetic devotion of the Magdalene of the story. L'tincelle (1879), a brilliant one-act comedy, secured another success, and in 1881 with Le Monde o l'on s'amuse Pailleron produced one of the most strikingly successful pieces of the period. The play ridiculed contemporary academic society, and was filled with transparent allusions to well-known. people. None of his subsequent efforts achieved so great a success. Pailleron was elected to the Acadmie franaise in 1882. References Pailleron, Edouard Jules Henri Pailleron, Edouard Jules Henri Pailleron, Edouard Jules Henri
