Benjamin Antier
Benjamin Antier, real name Benjamin Chevrillon, (21 March 1787 – 25 April 1870), was a 19th-century French playwright. An author of melodramas and vaudevilles written in collaboration with other dramatists, he is mostly known for his drama ''L'Auberge des Adrets'', premiered in 1823. The play featured the villain Robert Macaire, played on stage by Frédérick Lemaître, who, in 1835, wrote with Antier a second play called ''Robert Macaire''. The character was then popularized by Daumier's caricatures to become, after James Rousseau's word in his ''Physiologie du Robert Macaire'', "the embodiment of our positive, selfish, greedy, liar, boastful era... basically blagueuse. In 1945, ''L'Auberge des Adrets'' would be the basis of Marcel Carné's film, ''Children of Paradise'', with Jean-Louis Barrault and Arletty.

Robert Macaire
Robert Macaire is a fictional character, an unscrupulous swindler, who appears in a number of French plays, films, and other works of art. In French culture he represents an archetypal villain. He was principally the creation of an actor, Frédérick Lemaître, who took the stock figure of "a ragged tramp, a common thief with tattered frock coat patched pants" and transformed him during his performances into "the dapper confidence man, the financial schemer, the juggler of joint-stock companies" that could serve to lampoon financial speculation and government corruption. Playwright Benjamin Antier (1787–1870), with two collaborators Saint-Amand and Polyanthe, created the character Robert Macaire in the play ''l'Auberge des Adrets'', a serious-minded melodrama. After the work's failure at its 1823 premiere, Frédérick Lemaître played the role as a comic figure instead. Violating all the conventions of its genre, it became a comic success and ran for a hundred performances. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
