Léon Xanrof


Léon Alfred Fourneau was a French humourist, music-hall artist, playwright and songwriter. Originally trained as a lawyer he invented the stage- and penname Xanrof by inversion of the Latin :wikt:fornax|fornax of his French surname :wikt:fourneau|fourneau, before finally legally changing his name to Léon Xanrof. Yvette Guilbert experienced early success singing Xanrof's songs at Rodolphe Salis' cabaret Le Chat Noir.
