Maxime Shottland

[Simon Beattie]

Has anyone on the list ever come across a writer called Maxime S[c]hottland?
A short report in The New York Times from June 1908 calls him "a young
Russian author who has passed most of his life in England and America" who
is about to open a theatre in Paris "where an English or American author is
able to produce pieces debarred by the prudery of London or New York".  The
only published work of his I can find is "The Iron Passport" (presumably a
novel) from 1914.   I have also found newspaper reports cited online for
various court cases, but I haven't verified those yet.

 

Has anyone ever heard of him?
