Equipped with the amall life savings" of $15,000, a good business "mind, and a thorough knowledge of the con- temporary musical theatre, he launched his producing career with. the announcement of a forthcom- ing revue. And for 14 years he has been duplicating the success of that first venture.

JESSIE MATTHEWS

Miss Matthews, one of C. B. Cochran's stars, has only" made one former appearance in flims. and her present picture is the first of a series in which she will star. A gifted dancer, blessed with, a virile personality, a bewitching smile, and a pleasant singing voice, there is not a shadow of a

doubt that she will be a box office attraction. Andra Charlot was the first to discover her possibilities. and starred her in one of his re- vues at the Prince Of Wales' Thea- tre. After this, Cochran engaged her for some of his super revues at the London Pavillion, and only quite recently she was starring at the Galety in "Hold My Hand," with terrific success. Critics are agreed that the personality that has made for her success behind the foo:lights" gets over the screen in unmistakable fashion, "
