SLOSS Robert "Slim" editor. </b><i>John-a-Dreams. A Magazine for the conservative iconoclast and the practical dreamer devoted to mere literature and to classical typography. </i>Illustrated.

New York: The Corell Press & The Press at the Classical School Associated: University Place & Ninth Street July-December 1896; January-June 1897. </p><p>Tarkington was quoted as saying about the demise of <i>John-a-Dreams</i>: "The death of that little magazine on the staff of which I was supposed to be was the greatest blow I ever sustained."-<i>The Writer: A Monthly Magazine for Literary Workers </i>1903 vol. 16 p. 29. Includes all Tarkington contributions to this periodical. All published with the exception of two issues vol. I #'s 5-6 of a little magazine founded and edited by Robert T. "Slim" Sloss Tarkington's friend and Princeton classmate class of 1893 although Tarkington didn't graduate due to insufficient credits from enjoying college to much. "Booth Tarkington held the honorary position of staff artist and …contributed steadily to the magazine under the nom-de-plume of "Cecil Woodford." The issue for September 1896 is opened to the famous 'Letter of Regrets Left at Giles's Coffee-House; to be Given by the Waiter to Mr. Richard Rakell Sir Thomas Wilding or Lord Townbrake" a poem in ten quatrains…Perhaps the most ambitious of these <i>John-a Dreams </i>pieces also in the eighteenth-century literary form was the one-act comedy "Kisses for Marjorie." Tradition recounts that one of the drawings for this… inspired him to create another story into which the characters could be fitted. This story was <i>Monsieur Beaucaire.</i>"-<b>An Exhibition of Booth Tarkington's Works in the Treasure Room of the Princeton University Library March-April 1946</b> p. 8. <br /></p><p>There are only five Tarkington contributions to earlier periodicals. Most of those are slim indeed and those from his college days have been described by an early biographer see below as "genteel." His contributions here pre-date his first book <i>The Gentleman from Indiana </i>1900 by three years and <b><i>all are uncollected</i></b>. Here are <i>The Proud Lover </i>signed "Cecil Woodford" August 1896; <i>A Letter of Regrets</i> signed "Cecil Woodford" written and illustrated by Tarkington September 1896; <i>The Kisses of</i> <i>Marjorie</i> and <i>The Stupid People</i> both signed "Cecil Woodford" written and illustrated by Tarkington both December 1896. </p><p><i>The Kisses of Marjorie</i> <i>a Play in One Scene </i>pp. 147-157 is Tarkington's first published play his "first effort as a dramatist since his college days."-<b>Currie.</b> It has three illustrations by the author two of which are inserted plates. Robert Cortes Holliday has a lot of interesting things to say about <i>John-a-Dreams </i>in his<b> Booth Tarkington</b> 1918 pp. 31-37 the text of which is available on-line. He describes the wrappers thusly: "It was aesthetically bound in paper varying with each issue sometimes the kind of paper in which meat is wrapped sometimes in the kind which used to be 'laid' under carpets. Holliday gives a fine synopsis of <i>Kisses for Marjorie</i> a comedy laid in a rose garden in Philadelphia in 1778 involving two Revolutionary War officers seeking Marjorie's affections one a Captain in the Continental Army aide-de-camp to Light Horse Harry Lee the other a Major of His British Majesty's Foot. The play was later presented by The Dramatic Club of Indianapolis February 11 1902 in which Tarkington took part in all four performances; printed in <i>The </i><i>Indianapolis</i><i> Sunday Sentinel</i> March 9 1902; and produced again at The Little Theatre Indianapolis March 18 1916. <br /></p><p> Included is a copy of the <i>Prospectus</i>"Vol. 1 No. 0."
