Victorien Sardou At the same time he was trying to make headway in the literary world. His talents had been encouraged by an old "bas-bleu", Mme de Bawl, who had published novels and enjoyed some reputation in the days of the Restoration, but she could do little for her protégé. Victorien Sardou made efforts to attract the attention of Mlle Rachel, and to win her support by submitting to her a drama, "La Reine Ulfra", founded on an old Swedish chronicle. A play of his, "La Taverne des étudiants", was produced at the Odéon on 1 April 1854, but met a stormy reception, owing to a rumour that the débutant had been instructed and commissioned by the government to insult the students. "La Taverne" was withdrawn after five nights. Another drama by Sardou, "Bernard Palissy", was accepted at the same theatre, but the arrangement was cancelled in consequence of a change in the management. A Canadian play, "Fleur de Liane", would have been produced at the Ambigu but for the death of the manager. "Le Bossu", which he wrote for Charles Albert Fechter, did not satisfy the actor; and when the play was successfully produced, the nominal authorship, by some unfortunate arrangement, had been transferred to other men. Sardou submitted to Adolphe Lemoine, manager of the Gymnase, a play entitled "Paris à l'envers", which contained the love scene, afterwards so famous, in "Nos Intimes". Montigny thought fit to consult Eugène Scribe, who was revolted by the scene in question.
Victorien Sardou It is true that "Candide", the first play he wrote for Mlle Déjazet, was stopped by the censor, but "Les Premières Armes de Figaro", "Monsieur Garat", and "Les Prés Saint Gervais", produced almost in succession, had a splendid run. "Garat" and "Gervais" were done at Theatre des Varlétés and in English at Criterion Theatre in London. "Les Pattes de mouche" (1860, afterwards anglicized as "A Scrap of Paper") obtained a similar success at the Gymnase.
Victorien Sardou Sardou married his benefactress, Mlle de Brécourt, but eight years later he became a widower, and soon after the Revolution of 1870 was married a second time, to Mlle Soulié on 17 June 1872 to the daughter of the erudite Eudore Soulié, who for many years superintended the Musée de Versailles. He was elected to the Académie française in the room of the poet Joseph Autran (1813–1877), and took his seat on 22 May 1878. He lived at Château de Marly for some time.
Victorien Sardou Irish playwright and critic George Bernard Shaw said of "La Tosca": "Such an empty-headed ghost of a shocker...Oh, if it had but been an opera!". He also came up with the dismissive term "Sardoodledom" in a review of Sardou plays ("The Saturday Review", 1 June 1895). Shaw believed that Sardou's contrived dramatic machinery was creaky and that his plays were empty of ideas. Sardou's advice to young playwrights on how to be successful was to "Torture the women!" as part of any play construction.
