"Because," replied the young man, "I feared that you would think I had not attended to my work."
"Well," said Frohman, "you sent matter to all the papers, didn't you?"
"Yes," said the agent, "all of them, of course."
"Then," said the manager, "what else could you do? You are not running the papers."
It was not only an evidence of Frohman's fairness, but an instance of his knowledge of newspapers.
Frohman had a remarkable memory. One night during Collier's London engagement he asked the actor to meet him at the Savoy the next morning at nine o'clock. Collier, who had been playing bridge until dawn, showed up at the appointed time, whereupon Frohman said:
"How did you do it?"
"I sat up for it," said Collier.
Five years later Frohman asked Collier one night to meet him at nine o'clock the next morning. Then he added, quickly:
"You can sit up for it."
