Remembering C F Frohman by Alf Hayman
May York May 15 Alf Hayman longtime Frohman associate paints a portrait of C F Frohman. He recalls Frohman as generous to authors actors and actresses first to pay big salaries and innovate sliding scale royalties. Frohman cared for people over money and gave to charity while keeping stars free to leave if needed. He valued daily contact with his writers and produced plays he knew would fail if he had promised the author. He never sought money and died rich in reputation rather than cash.
