She was engaged at once by the Comedie Frangaise, but instead of making her debut in some play of the repertoire of the theatre, the management put on for her benefit a new comedy by Scribe and Legouve, Les Contes de la reine de Navarre, in which she created the part of Marguerite on the ist of September 1850. Her talents and beauty made her a success from the first, and in less than two years from her debut she was elected societaire. In 1853 she married Mario Uchard, from whom she was soon separated, and in 1858 she returned to the Comedie Frangaise in leading parts, until her retirement in 1886. Her name is associated with a great number of plays, besides those in the classical repertoire, notably Le Monde ail' on s'ennuie, Par droit de conquete, Les Deux Veuves, and Le Lion amoureux, in which, as the "marquise de Maupas," she had one of her greatest successes.
