From a New York newspaper we take the following I Funeral services for Scoft Erwin Cooper, well known actor, who died Thursday, will be held this morning at 11 o'clock at Campbell's Funeral Church. Mr. Cooper, who was 74 years old, was best known in theatrical circles for his creation of the part of Captain William in "Paid in Full," some seventeen ears ago. Since then illness of one kind or another had kept him from the stage. He spent a half century on the boards. Born in Maryland, a first cousin of the famous Richard Harding Davis the novelist, the actor first came to New York in his early twenties determined to practice law here, the profession for which he had studied in the South. But the lure of the stage proved too much for him and he abandoned his tiny law office for a tinier part in a .ply. His talents, however, brought him better parts and he soon played important character roles in many productions. He played a number of years with William Hodge and was a close associate of that actor. He was best known for his work in "Way Down East," "Old Lady 31," in which he had the lead, and "Paid in Full." This last named role was his favorite and he toured with the play many years. !Mr. Cooper was a member of the Lambs Club, members of which will be present at the funeral services. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Cooper. IN MEMORIAM McCracken--In loving Belle Harnden, beloved wife of Gray-don McCracken, who died November 3th, 1926, at Hilton, N.Y.
