Helen Westley: Mrs. Frazier

Quotes 

• Mrs. 'Ma' Frazier : Did you enjoy your season in Buffalo, Mr. Williams?

  Mr. Williams : Oh, very much. Good audiences, nice theatre.

  Daisy Dawn : I always found the Buffalo people most hospitable to the members of our stock company.

  Mr. Williams : The women did make rather a fuss over me, but then it helps business.

  Daisy Dawn : I must say the men made rather a fuss over me too when I used to go to the Sticks for summer stock.

  Mr. Clifton : Did you have much trouble with the Indians in those days?

• Mrs. 'Ma' Frazier : Toledo. Played it in '76 with my third husband, Leo Snitz. Faces: queer, quaint and quizzical. Harrigan and Hart were on the bill with us. That was show business then. Nothing like it any more. The theatre's dead!

• Mrs. 'Ma' Frazier : That's show business. Promises, debts and then more promises.

• Mrs. 'Ma' Frazier : No use waitin', honey, there's nobody here going to applaud your entrance.

• Mrs. Leslie Carter : What a nice room!

  Mrs. 'Ma' Frazier : Best room in the house. Lots of fine actors and actresses have slept here. Don't misunderstand me. I run a very respectable house. I don't stand for any monkey business and don't forget it.
