Frank Curzon (17 September 1868 – 2 July 1927) was an English actor who became an important theatre manager, leasing the
Royal Strand Theatre,
Avenue Theatre,
Criterion Theatre,
Comedy Theatre,
Prince of Wales Theatre and
Wyndham's Theatre, among others.
Curzon produced some of the most successful
Edwardian musical comedies, including
A Chinese Honeymoon (1903) and
Miss Hook of Holland (1907; one of several successes starring his wife,
Isabel Jay), and he later produced several plays starring
Ivor Novello. Curzon was involved in a number of legal disputes, the most celebrated of which involved an audience member who refused to remove her hat. When Curzon prevented her from returning to her seat, she charged him with assault. Curzon won.
