Born in Vannes, Morbihan, France, he emigrated to Montreal, Quebec in 1907, and studied dramatic arts at the Conservatoire Lassalle.[2] In 1918, he became director of Montreal's Théâtre National.[2] He wrote or cowrote a number of stage plays during this era, including Le Mortel baiser,[3]L'Homme au foulard blanc, Les Dopés, Les Esclaves blanches and a theatrical adaptation of Louis Hémon's novel Maria Chapdelaine.[4] He remained with the theatre until 1936, when he was succeeded as director by Rose Ouellette.
In the 1930s, he began working in film, with acting and screenwriting credits in several French films, and in broadcasting as a writer of radio dramas for CKVL, CKAC and Radio-Canada. His noted radio dramas included La Fiancée du commando and Le procès du fils de l’homme.[2]
He was hired by producer Paul L'Anglais to direct A Man and His Sin, the 1949 film adaptation of Claude-Henri Grignon's novel Un homme et son péché.[5] In the same year he also directed The Village Priest (Le Curé de village),[6] and in 1950 he released Séraphin, a sequel to A Man and His Sin.[7]
He had occasional acting roles thereafter, including in stage productions of Jean Anouilh's The Lark[8] and Maurice Gagnon's Edwige,[9] and continued to write for radio into the 1960s, including the dramatic serials Vies de femmes and L'Hirondelle du faubourg.[2]
Throughout his career, he was credited as Paul Gury when acting or directing, but used his real name in writing credits.[2]
