From 1931 Frank was the editor of the weekly tabloid Melbourne newspaper The Truth, which was owned by Ezra Norton.
Frank refused to reveal the source behind articles he had written in September 1939 which suggested that certain persons were collecting funds for the purpose of bribing members of the Parliament.
He was subsequently fined £15 by the Victorian Supreme Court for an offence against the Evidence Act 1928 (Vict) for refusing to answer questions without a lawful excuse.
In 1941 Frank moved to Sydney to become the inaugural editor of The Daily Mirror, a Sydney-based afternoon newspaper founded by Ezra Norton.
On 30 September 1949 while walking near his home in 1 Llewellyn Street, Rhodes, Frank collapsed on a seat at a bus stop.
