Mandel, Frank (1884–1958), playwright and producer. Although the San Francisco–born writer translated or collaborated on a number of plays early in his career, it was his work in the musical theatre for which he is largely remembered. He was co‐librettist of, among others, Mary (1920), The O'Brien Girl (1921), and No, No, Nanette (1925) before he joined with Laurence Schwab to form a new production company. Their first offering, in conjunction with Horace Liveright, was the drama The Firebrand (1924). Mandel afterward collaborated on the books for their productions of The Desert Song (1926) and The New Moon (1928), and with Schwab produced Good News! (1927), Follow Thru (1929), and several less‐successful shows.
