Wand ering Thespians Over a month ago Mr. and Mrs. Donald Blanchard, of the Blanchard & Marlin Company, left Mesa for Globe. They had purchased burros and had arranged to pack one and ride the others. They were to camp on the road. to the present time no news has been heard from them, and it is feared that they have been lost in the mountains. The only news which has come was the report that George Scott brought in. He says that one of his sheepherders found the two people nearly frozen and half starved. They had one cold quail, which had been cooked three days before, when they had their last fire, and an onion to eat. They were about exhausted then. They stayed in camp three days and then left, presumably for Globe. This was in the Sierra Anchas, and their friends in Mesa are quite alarmed about them. Jim Sayre Accomplishes An Interview With George Cohan It has remained for Jim Sayre, the Seattle critic, to capture an interview after all the San Francisco pencil pushers were turned down. Sayre has written a truly good story, full of interest and news. It is as follows : "George M. Cohan was last evening considerate enough to break his long standing rule against newspaper interviews by telling me a few facts concerning his own plans for the immediate future, for George Cohan himself is the livest subject on which George Cohan could possibly be interviewed. Mr. Cohan had generously given up the star dressing room to his mother. I found him dressing two flights up, where the villian or the character man usually makes his preparations for facing the audience. 'I expect to bring my own tour in this play to an end early in February in Albany/ he said. 'We play straight across the continent from here. On or before Washington's Birthday I will sail for Europe, to be gone several months. Over there I expect to get a couple of settings for the new musical play which will bring the Four Cohans and several other players in my present company upon Broadway for the dedi: cation of the new George M. Cohan Theatre in September. The name of the new play has not yet been decided upon, but it will be one of the biggest productions 1 have ever made. I hope to make the George M. Cohan Theatre the home of successive Cohan productions. While I shall appear in the first of the series, I plan before long to retire from stage activities and devote my time to the writing and staging of musical plays. After a few seasons there.

She would have gone on if I had allowed her to, but I hardly think she has sufficiently recovered from her recent severe illness. I will let her go on tomorrow night if she feels perfectly well. But she needs a long rest, and that is the principal reason why we are closing with The Yankee Prince in the middle of the season. The report that she will retire from the stage is without foundation. The company will continue with others in our places, playing one-night stands in New England and through Pennsylvania until the warm weather. Meanwhile I shall launch Tom Lewis, who is playing Steve Daly tonight, as the star of a new farcical comedy which 1 am now writing for him, to be called The Man from Down Town.' " Delivery of Theatre Tickets The New Theatre of New York is testing new ideas with pleasing regularity. The latest device is the delivery of tickets. Persons residing in New York may now have their tickets delivered at their doors, just as they have their groceries, laundry and dry goods. The idea, a new one, has been welcomed by the public generally. All a patron has to do to obtain seats for any performance is to call up the box office, where several telephones operated by experts have been installed. The seats when selected are placed in an envelope and sent by one of a dozen uniformed messengers to any address on Manhattan Island. On delivering the tickets the messenger receives the amount called for and returns to the (theatre. If the purchaser lives within reasonable distance, the trip is made on a bicycle: otherwise the messenger goes by the quickest street car or subway route.
