Died. Daniel Frohman, 89, dean of U. S. producers, whose career in the theatre went back to 1871; in Manhattan. "Uncle Dan," who first made himself useful as the 15-year-old New York Tribune copy boy who could decipher Horace Greeley's handwriting, learned about the theatre as advance agent for a minstrel show. But unlike his brilliant brother Charles (lost on the Lusitania in 1915), who organized huge nationwide theatre combines, he limited his productions to Manhattan and, after 1885, chiefly to one theatre. In the roster of his great Lyceum Theatre Stock Company (with David Belasco as stage manager) were E. H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, Richard Mansfield, Maude Adams, Henry Miller, many another illustrious name. Though Uncle Dan retired from active producing in 1911, he remained a shrewd, vigorous Broadway counselor and leader, on first nights descending from his penthouse above the Lyceum Theatre to call the invariable turn on a hit or a flop.
