Charles Frohman

Manager and Man

By: Isaac Frederick Marcosson,Daniel Frohman

The Frohman brothers were important American Broadway theatre owners and theatrical producers who also owned and operated motion picture production companies. The brothers were: Daniel Frohman (1851-1940), Gustave Frohman (1854-1930) and Charles Frohman (1860-1915). Originally from Sandusky, Ohio, they developed a system of touring theatrical companies that would perform in various parts of the United States. They eventually made their way to New York City in the 1880s where they set up offices that managed bookings for a chain of Western theaters whose operations extended through to California. Charles Frohman became the representative partner in the Theatrical Syndicate which created a monopoly in 1896 that controlled almost every aspect of theatre contracts and bookings for the next twenty years. Daniel Frohman led the brothers business interests in a 1912 partnership with filmmaker Adolph Zukor they named the Famous Players Film Company. The new film production company made its first film in 1913, The Prisoner of Zenda and the Frohmans remained involved until 1918 when they parted ways with Zukor after having been part of seventy-four Famous Players productions.
