Edward Franklin Albee I was a vaudville impresario, and the adoptive grandfather of Edward Franklin Albee III.

He toured with P.T. Barnum as a ticket collector. In 1885 he partnered with Benjamin Franklin Keith in operating a theatre in Boston. With the success of their business, it grew into a chain of vaudville theatres that were the first to introduce moving pictures.
