Being young, he became interested in theater career, but only recognized his true calling when he came into contact with the Spanish actor and poet Bernardo Jambrina.
He began writing several lyrical pieces, with one of which in 1919 he staged a show that appeared at the Comedy Theatre, entitled "El derrumbe" (the collapse).
Two years later, his "Malhaya tu corazón" ("Curse your heart"), repeated the success of his debut feature.
One of the specific manifestations of this sentiment was the creation of the Museum of the Patria Vieja, in a central house of Rancagua, where he resided for some years.
The president at the time, Gabriel González Videla, and a good set of authorities and respectable neighbors of the city attended its inauguration.
