The author of this most productive time was Eugene Scribe, the several hundred comedies drafted within the shortest possible time. His works show no extraordinary talent and have a depth in the presentation are missing, but said the taste of the general public and enjoyed great popularity. The Scribe following writers of a Rocket French Review (Alexandre Dumas the Younger, Emile Augier, Victorien Sardou) enhanced the realistic presentation and united them with belehrenden elements, so that their plays were serious and showed little comedy. In contrast, the comic theater should only be maintained and the audience laugh.
