  Daniel Frohman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Frohman (August 22, 1851 - December 26, 1940) was an American theatrical producer and manager, and an early film producer.
Frohman became involved in the motion picture business as a partner and producer with Adolph Zukor in the Famous Players Film Company.
On his passing in 1940, Frohman was interred in the Union Field Cemetery in Ridgewood, New York near his brother Charles who had died in 1915 in the sinking of the RMS Lusitania.

Daniel Frohman had departed the Mallorys, and was establishing a repertory company and a reputation at the Lyceum theater on 24th Street.
Belasco separated from Daniel Frohman and was producing his own shows, generally the same style of melodrama and light comedy that was popular at the time, and Charles Frohman had become a "star-maker".
In 1905, Frohman again assailed Barrie to write a script from one of his novels; an improbable play concerning alligators and pirates, baby-sitting dogs, little boys trapped in eternal child-hood and a character that was a wandering spot of light.

After Daniel Frohman left the Madison Square Theatre and opened his Lyceum (in May, 1885), and after his brother Charles (1860–1915) had opened the Empire Theatre (in January, 1893), with estimable stock companies, it became evident that two new elements confronted the American theatregoers.
It is true that Daniel Frohman produced pieces by American playwrights like Belasco, De Mille, Marguerite Merrington (Captain Letterblair, 16 August, 1892), Fitch (An American Duchess, 20 November, 1893; The Moth and the Flame, 11 April, 1898; The Girl and the Judge, 4 December, 1901), Mrs.
Nevertheless, it was not by their faith in the American playwright that the powerful position of the theatrical managers was won, but rather through the astute manner in which they watched the foreign market.

Frohman was also afraid of the dark and pleaded for Paul Potter to tell him stories until he fell asleep.
Frohman gave the pretense of dismissing their fears, but he took the precaution of dictating his entire program for the next season before sailing, something that was unprecedented for him.

For Barrie it meant the meeting with Charles Frohman, who was to be his greatest American friend and producer; for Miss Adams it was to open the way to her real career, and for Frohman himself it was to witness the beginning of an intimacy that was perhaps the closest of his life.
Under Frohman's influence he had begun to consider a dramatization of "The Little Minister," but the real stimulus was lacking because, as he expressed it to Frohman, he did not see any one who could play the part of Babbie.

 Madge Bellamy in The Silent Collection by Tammy Stone
The owner of that theatre, Daniel Frohman, was soon smitten with Margaret and through these rose-colored glasses, he wanted nothing more than to see her succeed as an actress.
Before long, she was “that actress who is just too hard to handle.” But handle her they did, as they had to if they wanted the money to keep rolling in – she was soon becoming a popular actress indeed, largely due to her talent.
In fact, her first speaking role under Daniel’s tutelage, the stage role of “Pollyanna”, got her into bad favor with the rest of the troupe because little Madge was getting all the good reviews as a completely unknown actress.

 Lyceum Theatre
Both were owned and operated by producer/manager Daniel Frohman and, for the brand new Lyceum Theatre, Frohman had a studio and rehearsal room built over it.
As noted on a placard in the Lyceum's impressive lobby, the most intriguing feature of the studio is a small door that opens up to offer a "bird's eye view" of the stage, providing Frohman his own private viewing room.
In the late '30s, when the impresario ran into financial difficulties and there was the threat that the Lyceum might shut down, several influential theater folks, most notably the famous playwriting duo Kaufman and Hart, bought the revered theater.
