Ludovic Halevy was born in Paris, January 1, 1. His father was Leon Halevy, the celebrated author; his grandfather, Fromenthal, the eminent composer. Ludovic was destined for the civil service, and, after finishing his studies, entered successively the Department of State (1. Algerian Department (1. Corps Legislatif (1. When his patron, the Duc de Morny, died in 1. Halevy resigned, giving up a lucrative position for the uncertain profession of a playwright: At this period he devoted himself exclusively to the theatre. He had already written plays as early as 1. Toward 1. 86. 0, however, he became acquainted with Henri Meilhac, and with him formed a kind of literary union, lasting for almost twenty years, when Halevy rather abruptly abandoned the theatre and became a writer of fiction. We have seen such kinds of co- partnerships, for instance, in Beaumont and Fletcher; more recently in the beautiful French tales of Erckmann- Chatrian, and still later in the English novels of Besant and Rice. Some say it was a fortunate event for Meilhac; others assert that Halevy reaped a great profit by the union. Be this as it may, a great number of plays- drama, comedy, farce, opera, operetta and ballet—were jointly produced, as is shown by the title- pages of two score or more of their pieces. When Ludovic Halevy was a candidate for L'Academie—he entered that glorious body in 1. Pailleron: . Sarcey, who criticised the character and quality of the work achieved. Public opinion has a long time since brought in quite another verdict in the case. Halevy's cooperation endowed the plays of Meilhac with a fuller ethical richness—tempered them, so to speak, and made them real, for it can not be denied that Meilhac was inclined to extravagance. Halevy's novels are remarkable for the elegance of literary style, tenderness of spirit and keenness of observation. He excels in ironical sketches. He has often been compared to Eugene Sue, but his touch is lighter than Sue's, and his humor less unctuous. Most of his little sketches, originally written for La Vie Parisienne, were collected in his 'Monsieur et Madame Cardinal' (1. Les Petites Cardinal', (1. They are not intended 'virginibus puerisque', and the author's attitude is that of a half- pitying, half- contemptuous moralist, yet the virility of his criticism has brought him immortality. Personal recollections of the great war are to be found in 'L'Invasion' (1. Notes et Souvenirs', 1. Most extraordinary, however, was the success of 'L'Abbe Constantin' (1. Academy, which has gone through no less than one hundred and fifty editions up to 1. It is, indeed, his 'chef- d'oeuvre', very delicate, earnest, and at the same time ironical, a most entrancing family story. It was then that the doors of the French Academy opened wide before Halevy. Further notable novels are: 'Criquette, Deux Mariages, Un Grand Mariage, Un Mariage d'Amour', all in 1. Princesse, Les Trois Coups de Foudre, Mon Camarade Moussard', all in 1. Karikari (1. 89. 2), and Mariette (1. Since that time, I think, Halevy has not published anything of importance. E. LEGOUVE de l'Academie Francaise.
