In 1912, while living in London, he and
Charles H. Fisher adapted
The Playboy of the Western World as
Der Held des Westerlands and had it published by Georg Müller and performed at
Max Reinhardt's Kammerspiele, Berlin, at the Neue Wiener Bühne in Vienna and at the Stadttheater in
Münster. A contemporary review of
Englische Staatsmänner states that it was clear he had spent time in
London and had close relations with the political figures he describes. The
Vossische Zeitung "Aunt Voss" observes that readers would agreeably surprised to find Asquith, Curzon, Viscount Grey and Churchill treated "not as enemies but as men". His play
Ein Tag: Lustspiel in Drei Akten, adapted by theatre director
Philip Moeller as
Caprice, had a successful run in 1929 at New York's
Theatre Guild, then elsewhere. His play
Mädchenjahre einer Königin about the young
Queen Victoria was the basis of several movies of the same name in 1936 and 1954 Several of his books are still in print:
Ein Wiener Landsturmmann and
Ein Tag: Lustspiel in Drei Akten. ==Published works==
