Maurice Hennequin
Charles-Maurice Hennequin (born December 10, 1863 in Liège , † September 3, 1926 in Montreux ) was a French writer and librettist of Belgian origin.
The son of the writer Alfred Hennequin became known as the author of about 100 vaudevilles and pochades . He published his first pieces under the pseudonym M Delreu , and since 1886 he has been writing under his own name. He wrote many of his pieces with co-authors such as Georges Feydeau ( Le Système Ribadier , 1892), Albin Valabrègue ( Place aux femmes , 1898), Paul Bilhaud ( Pilole d'Ercole , 1904), Pierre Veber (among others La Presidente , 1912) and Romain Coolus ( Sonnets d'Alarme , 1923).
Some of his pieces served as models for operettas and films. After Place aux femmes in 1911, the operetta Die Moderne Eva by Jean Gilbert was created , and La Presidente was filmed at least four times. From 1914 to 1915, Hennequin was president of the French authors' association.
