After the war, he collaborated with Nicolas Nancey on L'Héritier du bal Tabarin in 1919 and Il est cocu, le chef de gare in 1925.
During the 1920s, he gained interest in operetta and created several extravaganza pieces, operettas and sketch comedies with a famous author by the name of Albert Willemetz.
