According to the 1918 Brooklyn Daily Eagle Almanac, an L.L. Bonheur was manager of the Theatre Francaise, 35th Street near 6th Avenue. Mrs. & B. Cochran remain a mystery to me.

O. Straus is undoubtedly Oscar Straus, of the family which controlled Macy's Department Store by the 1910s. Oscar was the younger brother of Isador Straus who went down with the Titanic. He was the first Jewish cabinet member, serving as Secretary of Commerce and Labor under President Theodore Roosevelt from 1906-1909. Not surprising that he was hanging with TR, Jr. at whatever event this photo depicts.

Oscar Straus was also the Progressive Party candidate for governor of NY in 1912. This might be a photo from the campaign. The winner of the election was William Sulzer and there are other LOC photos of him on Flickr (he was impeached soon after he took office.)

Here is article about younger Roosevelt:

Anyone know who the Mrs. B Cochran is? Her husband's name too? My maiden name is Cochran. I've been told that a grandfather (several greats in front of the grand) was in the Congress of Williamsburg. Would be interesting to see if I could track down whether or not I was related to this Cochran in the picture.
