Cochrane on this page attest the extremely efficient manner in which he has started the Universal Film Manufacturing Company's activity in the Orient, and particularly in Japan. His work well started in the Philippines, he continued the same methods, adapting them, of course, to Japanese requirements in the land of the Rising Sun. Having a keen appreciation of the value of publicity and advertising, Mr. Cochrane made it a point to solidify the company's business in the minds of the leading publications which appertain to films, and so successful has he been in this particular, that all of the magazines of this character which come under the observation of the Home Office have carried a great preponderance of Universal matter.
