Z = ~
stephen Elkins Cochran is in
the fast receding 3O.'s. married
and the daddy Of two precoc1ous
children in the adOlescent stages
Of growth. 1T was as press agent
extraordinary for daughter Ceceila
that he first haunted the news
paper offices in pursuit Of space.
] Cecilia, then and now, Is 9 dancer,
and was wont to perform In the
annual dance festivals on the Ma
tional stage, which are duly re-
corded in rotogravure history.
IN the box office he learned
much Of his knowledge Of things
theatrical. although he has served
IN every capacity from program
boy to managing director. George
White once thought he could sell
tickets better than the National
treasur II. When the argument
ended Mr.. Cochran was still treas
urer and Mr.. White admitted he
was a better revue producer than
Ziegfeld. In fact, George still ad-
mits it. One hundred per cent
courtesy is what he demands for
those who step up TO the box office
window and woe betide the ticket
plrveyor whose argumentatiye
proclivities with the paying patron
are other than friendly.
On opening nights of new
shows. during the regular sea
son he may be observed In
the back OF the house carefully
appraising the audience reaction
to the stage foings. Then he
sends confidential messages TO the
New York producers giving an
honest opinion of It's possibilities.
Most Of the time he giIesses
right and his views are respected
accordingly. Occasionally he muffs
one as for instance when ne
picked Beatrice Lille and She's
Ny Baby for q sure winner.
However. his right and wrong
batting average Is about 500 on
the good side Of the ledger. 50
lets pass on.
The National Players, as divi.
dend earning institution. are. OF
course, his hobby. Mr.. Cochran
has learned from bitter expert
ence that washington likes clean
plays for its stock audiences, and
he endeavors to fulfill that de-
mand. IA little side line venture
at the President Thsater was
concerned with repertoire Of the
drabber kind. He limped away
with much flattened pocketbook
and firm belief that John
Golden has the right idea about
giving the public the pleasanter
tfliags in the drama. Seventh
Heaven and the adventures of
Chico. that very remarkable fell
low, has been the best revenue
producing drama the Players have
ever presented. If eoaxed slffici-
emily Mr. Cochran may revive II
this season.
His chest Is just resuming nor
NAL girtIl after a marked expan-
sion when Mrs. Calvin Coolidge
made 81 season reservation to
watch his acting pets.
Audience comfort is another fet.
ish with Mr.. Cochran One night,
being challenged, and there be-
ing no policeman about, he
stepped out or his class and
elected from the theater 195
pound heavyweight who was
obnoxious to surrounding patrons.
In sports he inclines to the prize
ring. without much urge he will
tell you that Jack Dempsey
fouIed Jack Sharkey and 1t makes
no difference ii the referee and
the record book dissent. He was
present at Bowie one afternoon
when Fannie Brice of the Music

night performance with $4,000 in
