JFrame content displayed only after changing frame size

Question

Hello everybody,
could someone explain to me why the content in this frame:
public class PHPTableReport extends JFrame {
     public PHPTableReport() {
          getContentPane().setLayout(null);
          final JLabel newAppletLabel = new JLabel();
          newFrameLabel.setBorder(new BevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED));
          newFrameLabel.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
          newFrameLabel.setText("New Frame");
          newFrameLabel.setBounds(10, 10, 50, 58);
          getContentPane().add(newAppletLabel);
     }when invoked like this (in a JApplet):
PHPTableReport pHPTFrame =  new PHPTableReport();
pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);only displays after dragging the window/frame bigger or smaller?
Thanks in advance again

Change this :
pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);To:
pHPTFrame.setBounds(300, 300, 800, 600);
pHPTFrame.setVisible (true);
