Self-Reliance o ne night, while I was playing in "The Silver Girl" at Wallack's (a famous old theater which has since vanished from the Broadway scene) I no- ticed two elderly gentlemen sitting in the left-hand box nearest the stage. I had never seen either of them before and, if I had any reaction at all, I imagine it must have been that I was glad someone was sitting there, for "The Silver Girl" had proved to be of baser metal and was about to be taken out of circulation. When I made my exit, I found the rest of the cast back stage in a perfect dither. That was Frohman, out there! The great Charles Frohman, the god of every actor's idolatry. They were all wondering why he was there, knowing, as they did, that he seldom went to the theater any more because of the malady that had all but deprived him of the use of his legs. 96
