his friends believe he has gone
abroad seeking health. His relatives

garding his destination. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. Bessie Mariani and his wife
stated today they had no idea where
he is, but say he may have gone
abroad to take the baths.
For some time the former mayor
has wanted to go to Europe to try
nature cures there. Mystery has been
thrown about his Illness, the physi-
clans refusing to diagnose 1t and ru-
mors that II was of a malignant, incur
able character having been circulat-
ed. Mrs. Mariani said that because
the family dill not believe johnson
strong enough to go abroad alone,
they had opposed his going. She is
inclined to think he may be stopping
al some quiet retreat until he can ar
range for his trip. G.. w. Stage and
F,ed c. Howe, Cleveland associates

but could not locate him and were

MAKING STARS.

John P. Slocum belongs to the
coterie of theatrical producers in
this country who have gained wealth
through selling clean entertainment.
He has given the stage some of the
best productions Of the past decade.
He was in Rock Island this week
with one of his attractions, The
kissing Girl" a delightful and re-
freshingly clean operate comedy.
While talking with newspaper
friends in the office of Manager r.

i've played the game for many
years." he said, land 1 must confess
each recurring season it becomes
more difficult for me to fathom pub
lie preferences in the matter of
amusements. However. l am not
complaining, for the public has been
good to me. In turn, 1 have been
square with the public. My great
est disappointments have been in my
experiences with stars whom l have
developed. l have not been alone.
other managers have been through
the same mill. The ingratitude and
instability of the star today is the
reason so many producers are dis
couraging the stellar system in our
business. However, / am one who
is not doing it, simply because
have been convinced that the patron
of the theatre insists on knowing the
personality of the chief performer in
any standard attraction. And right
fully so.
You recall my Princess Chic?'
Marguerite Sylvia was my star in that
production. For several years l pre-
sented her in that and other comic
operas, and in each one Of them she
scored heavily. with fame for her
self and profit for us both. 1t cost
me money to boom her, but 1 be-
lieved In her talents and 1 was not
mistaken.
But here is the point: Two weeks
ago 1 had an interview with Miss
Sylvia in New York. offered her
$1,000 a week for 35 weeks and 1C
per cent of the gross receipts. Did
