Ten years before Al Hayman came
out of the West, where he had been a
successful operator OF San Francisco
theatres and had accumulated n
fortune in Pacific coast theatricals.
Hayman saw the extraordinary merit
of Charles Frohman and decided to
back him. IN OF the first steps was
acquiring the lease OF the Knicker-
booker Theatre, which in 1896 came
upon the market. As to the artistic
direction of the Hayman-Frohman
enterprises the Californian gave
Frohman entire charge.
The Frohman stock players. several

TO the Empire, and the Knicker-
booker was reserved for elaborate
productions of various kinds, many OF
them musical or spectacular or both.
As under Abbey's regime, the play
house. renamed the Knicker-
booker, was always a place where the
finest entertainment in town, with the
most distinguished actors available in
America, could be enjoyed. In fact,
IL was the first choice house of the

bookings.
When Charles Frohman himself
produced there 1t was on the most
liberal scale. Together with business
ability he had the instinct OF the
director of n subsidized European
theatre rather than the purely com
mercial mind of the average manager,
