When Edna May married Oscar Lewisohn she gave a reception on her return from the honeymoon. She sent Charles one of the conventional engraved cards that read:
"At home Thursday from four to six."
Frohman immediately sent back the card, on which he had written, "So am I."
Once when Frohman and Dillingham were crossing to Europe on the Oceanic they had as fellow-passenger a mutual friend, Henry Dazian, the theatrical costumer, on whom Charles delighted to play pranks. On the first day out Dillingham came rushing back to Frohman with this exclamation:
"There are a couple of card-sharks on board and Dazian is playing with them. Don't you think we had better warn him?"
"No," replied Frohman. "Warn the sharks."
Some years ago Frohman sent a young actor named John Brennan out on the road in the South in "Too Much Johnson." Brennan was a Southerner, and he believed that he could do a big business in his home country. Frohman then went to London, and, when playing hearts at the Savoy one night with Dillingham, a page brought a cablegram. It was from Brennan, saying:
Unless I get two hundred dollars by next Saturday night I can't close.
Whereupon Frohman wired him:
Keep going.
