Biography
André Mouëzy-Éon begins his career by writing short plays for the Théâtre de Cluny, located in the Latin quarter of Paris. After his conscription and before World War I, he became famous by going into the military vaudeville, a popular genre at the time with plays llke Tire au flanc, Le Tampon du capiston, then Les Dégourdis de la 11e.
After the war, he collaborated with Nicolas Nancey on L'Héritier du bal Tabarin in 1919 and Il est cocu, le chef de gare in 1925.
During the 1920s, he gained interest in operetta and created several extravaganza pieces, operettas and sketch comedies with a famous author by the name of Albert Willemetz.
In 1924, the operetta Les Amants de Venise is created at the Opéra-Comique. The piece is performed again in 1928, at the théâtre Marigny under the title Venise.
