a few weeks ago it was reported that
Charles Frohman was very sick man,

non concerning Mr.. Frohman, outside
OF hIs vast business affairs. and no con.
hrmarlon or denial of the report has ap-
peared. For many years past he has
rarely been seen on the streets. and the
magnitude of his operations commands
so much of his time from early morn

except those persons who arc very
closely associated with him socially and
IN business way, ever comes in con.
tact with him. For these reasons. the

where she has been giving sneciai
matlnces under tho MANAGEMENT of
Henry B. Harris. The performance Of
TINS remarkable dancer begins AT three

whlch time she is seen in several origi.
by the fact that handsome STAGE sci,
