For starters, Word's probably catching this one. "Passive sentences" is the subject of the clause at the end*, while there is an implied object that is the actor the verb "frowned".
Is there a better way to say it? There are definitely alternate ways, though in this case that use may be preferable from the standpoint that it's a common usage and you're likely trying to draw on the familiarity of it.

subordinate clause. Geez, that was bugging me Strike that (oh wait, I just did). Re-read, and the first half of the sentence is actually subordinate.
