Frohman loved sweets. He went to considerable trouble sometimes to get the particular candy he wanted. Here is a letter that he wrote to William Newman, then manager of the Maude Adams Company, in care of the Metropolitan Opera House, St. Paul:
Will you go to George Smith's Chocolate Works, 6th and Robert Streets, St. Paul, and get four packages of Smith's Delicious Cream Patties and send them to me to the Knickerbocker Hotel, New York?
Frohman had his own way of acknowledging courtesies. A London friend, Reginald Nicholson, circulation manager of the Times, sent him some flowers to the Savoy. He received this reply from the manager, scrawled with blue pencil on a sheet of hotel paper:
A lot of thanks from Savoy Court 81.
Frohman's apartment for years at the Savoy Hotel was Savoy Court 81.
To Paul Potter, written from the Blackstone, Chicago, in February, 1915:
Dear Paul:
I received your telegram, and was glad to get it. The sun is shining here and all is well. I hope to see you Saturday night at the Knickerbocker.
C. F.
This is in every way a typical Charles Frohman personal note. He usually had one thing to say and said it in the fewest possible words.
