[« Voilà M. Émile Vanderburch qui a obtenu dans le vaudeville des succès étourdissants ..: on se souvient de la vogue du ''Gamin de Paris'', de ''Clermont ou la Femme artiste''. Est-ce ambition ? Est-ce absence d'idées à vaudevilles ? M. Vanderburch a, un beau jour, renoncé au théâtre et s'est mis à fabriquer des romans de mœurs et puis il vous a taillé à grands coups de ciseaux, une histoire de France. » .]
