BiographyAfter secondary studies in Mâcon, he moved to Paris in order to attend law school. There he met Eugène Labiche and Marc-Michel.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} He obtained his license and registered with the Bar but did not practice law for long, becoming more interested in writing.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} He worked with small newspapers and founded l'Audience and La Chaire catholique. But his passion was theater.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} Through his cousin Eugène Scribe, who then dominated the French playwriting scene, he received helpful advice and support from theatre directors.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} His first play, a comédie en vaudevilles in one act titled Une femme tombée du ciel, premiered in 1836 at the Théâtre du Panthéon.[1] In 1838, Labiche, Lefranc and Marc-Michel founded the "Paul Dandré Dramatic Society", a collective literary pseudonym for the production of comedies and dramas. A contract formally linked the three theatrical newcomers, who agreed to write only for their new partnership.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} While the experience lasted only two years, it ended amicably.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} Labiche, in a letter to Nadar, however, blamed the dissolution on Lefranc's "laziness and inaccuracy".{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} Over the next two decades, Lefranc wrote fifty more comedies, mostly with Labiche (the last, L'Avocat d'un Grec, in 1859[2]).{{citation needed|date=May 2016}}. Except for Embrassons-nous, Folleville! (1850),[3] which was refashioned into an opéra-comique with music by Avelino Valenti and successfully performed at the second Salle Favart in 1879,[4] none of his plays is considered significant, and many were not even published. He then changed careers, becoming a banker by taking over the Caisse du Crédit public A. Lefranc and Cie.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} From 8 July 1867 until mid 1868 Lefranc was a co-director of the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens, along with Julien-Joseph-Henry Dupontavisse. During their tenure the theatre temporarily presented comédies en vaudevilles.[5] He died on 15 December 1878 in his country house in Suresnes. WorksTheatre{{div col}}
