Biographie

Georges Duval was a columnist at Le Gaulois under the pseudonyms Claude Rieux and Tabartin. He also collaborated with the newspaper L'Événement.[1]

In 1883, Guy de Maupassant dedicated him his short story Le Cas de madame Luneau.

His greatest theatrical success was the comédie en vaudeville Coquin de printemps, composed in 1888 with Adolphe Jaime. This play was revived in Broadway in 1906 by Richard Carle under the title Spring Chicken. In 1898, he also wrote with Albert Vanloo, the libretto of the operetta Véronique by André Messager.

In 1892, he was chief editor of La Libre Parole.[2]
