Lyceum
Description
The elegant Daniel Frohman, who seemed the quintessential Broadwayite (although he was born in 1851 in Sandusky, Ohio), worked his way up through the ranks as advance man for a touring minstrel show and then as a New York manager. He eventually assembled his own company at his own theater, the first Lyceum, on 4th Avenue. he joined the theatrical exodus to Longacre (later Times) Square, and there in 1903 built the second Lyceum theater, shown here, which was designed as a self-contained theatrical plant, with offices, workrooms, rental units and areas to build, paint, and store scenery, as well as a stage, dressing rooms, rehearsal space. in 1974 it became the first theater in New York to be designated a landmark. Frohman later disbanded his company and leased his house to other producers, but lived in an apartment in the theater he built until shortly before his death in 1940
