Among his cherished plan? for the immediate future is a produc tion by some prominent American actor of his poetic drama. me Merchant Prince of Cornville" This is the play from which a Federal Court decided Edmund Kostann. tne French dramatist, stole the ideas "Cvrano de Bergeriac. "I hope to see the drama succcsslully presented here" said Mr. Gross. "That will constitute a vindication for m he-ore the American public. Then I shall have it produced in Paris, Rostands own city, ana 00 you know what will happen then?; he will be removed from membership in the French Academy. "Whv. he became saturated with my play. He studied it for two years before he wrote his great drama, you know, and when he was called upon r. write another he. still had to go back to "The Merchant Prince of Cornville". His Chanticleer is drawn from my play, of that I have not the slightest doubt.
