"Do you know" said Smiley Walker, who
is here representing the men and Women"
company TO the GLOBE yesterday. that
Charles Frohman is pretty busy man with
almost $50 people on his salary list, eight or
ten companies on the road, and three COM
panies playing three different theaters in
New York city?''
What companies is Mr.. Frohman inter
ested in?''
"The attractions now travelling and con-
trolled by him include Mr. Wilkinson's'
Widows two companies in. shenandoah >
one Held by the Enemy, one All the Com
forts of Home, his travelling New York
stock company in The Lost Paradise, which
created such hit in Chicago recently, and
this company in Men and Women which
plays at the Met
Besides" continued Mr. Walker, "he has
Henry E. Dixey playing the latest English
success, The Solicitor at Herrman's Broad
way theater. Jane, with splendid comedy
company, now running at the Madison
Square theater, is drawing good houses. He
is also preparing to open next month the
new Boston theater, built for Rich & Harris,
with stock company, and it is more than
likely it will remain there the entire season,
probably playing The Lost Paradise" ,"
What has become of Miss De Wolfe, Mrs.
James Brown Potters successor in the four
hundred?'
'She has just recently arrived from Paris,
where she has been consulting Sardou
in regard TO her new play. 'Thermidor.
She has had several valuable readings under
Sardon's director. and no doubt will be found
fully qualified for the arduous role. Mr..
Frohman will spare no expense in getting up
the piece. The scenery costumes, parapher-
MALTA, etc., will be as handsome as money
can purchase, and correct as art can suggest.
Besides these money-makers, he has one of
the best theatrical agencies in New York,
with large force of clerks and in addition
to booking his own companies he makes the
routes of perhaps ten or twelve outside or
ganizatIons.
by the way, did you here that Langtry
wanted the London rights for Men and
Women Frohman cabled back No.
guess he will take the New York stock COM
pany over there next summer and do the
piece himself. Great head, Frohman."
