Biography

The son of Michel Martin, former soldier, and of Marie Lubize [5] whose name he chose as pseudonym, he studied at collège Bourbon and worked first in the office of the Laffitte et Cie bank.[6]

On 21 June 1828, he married Virginie Guyot.[7] and made his debut at theatre in 1832 with a three-act play titled L'Abbaye-aux-Bois, written in collaboration with Pixérécourt.

In May 1844, Lubize became director of the Théâtre du Vaudeville where he succeeded the playwright Jacques-François Ancelot.[8]

At the announcement of his death, the magazine Jean Diable read:

Labize was the uncle of dramatist Henry Becque (1837-1899).[9]
