Frazee, H[arry] H[erbert] (1880–1929), producer. Beginning his career in his hometown of Peoria, Illinois, at the age of sixteen as a theatre usher, he quickly rose to be treasurer of the theatre and soon became an advance man for traveling shows. In 1902 Frazee produced his first play, Uncle Josh Perkins, which toured successfully but never reached New York. His later productions included Madame Sherry (1910), Ready Money (1912), A Pair of Sixes (1914), A Full House (1915), Nothing But the Truth (1916), Dulcy (1921), and No, No, Nanette (1925), his biggest success. Frazee was also a major figure in the sports world, and it was as owner of the Boston Red Sox that he sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees.
