The piece earned enough praise so that the impresario George Edwardes commissioned the two to write another burlesque, together with the comic actor John Lloyd Shine, called "Joan of Arc". Songs from the piece included "I Went to Find Emin", "Round the Town", and "Jack the Dandy-O". "Joan of Arc" opened in 1891 at the Opera Comique starring Arthur Roberts and Marion Hood; he wrote under the pseudonym Adrian Ross, which he used for the rest of his career. The piece was a hit, lasting for almost eight hundred performances, and Ross resigned from Cambridge. To supplement his income from theatre writing, Ross became a contributor to such journals as "Punch", "Sketch", "Sphere" and "The World", and he joined the staff of "Ariel" in 1891–1892. He wrote in "The Tatler" under the pseudonym Bran Pie and in 1893 published an edition of Lady Mary Wortley Montague's Letters. He also published numerous French texts for the Pitt Press series.
