There was a great deal more to him, but every one in any land who has had dealings with Charles Frohman will sign that. I would rather say a word of the qualities that to his friends were his great adornment than about his colossal enterprises or the energy with Which he heaved them into being; his energy that was like a force of nature, so that if he had ever retired from the work he loved ( a thing incredible) companies might have been formed, in the land so skilful at turning energy to practical ac count, for exploiting the vitality of this Niagara of a man. They could have lit a city with it. He loved his schemes. They were a succession of many-colored romances to him, and were issued to the world not without the accompaniment of the drum, but you would never find him saying anything of him self. He pushed them in front of him, always taking CHARLES FROHMAN care that they were big enough to hide him.

He once contemplated having a few theaters in Paris, but on dis covering that French law forbids your having more than one he gave up the scheme in disgust. A sense of humor sat with him through every vicissi tude like a faithful consort. How is it going? a French author cabled to him on the first night of a new play. It has gone/' he genially cabled back. Of a Scotch play of my own that he was about to produce in New York, I asked him what the Scotch would be like. You wouldn't know it was Scotch/ 1 he replied, but the American public will know/' AN APPRECIATION He was v
