President Breaks
Another Precedent
In Capital Theater
ny Associated Prsss.l

Washington, March 6.-AH official
Washington was talking today about
a little speech President Wilson made
last night from his box at the thea
ter. 1t was the first time within
memory OF anyone here that a Presi-
dent had done such a thing.
With a large audience, the Presi-
dent had enjoyed a play depicting the
conversion OF a disloyal German
American into a loyal citizen. When
one Of the leading actors in. response
to repeated curtain calls exhausted
his curtain speeches and the audience
demanded more, he suggested that
probably the President might say
something.
Rising in his box as a wave Of ap-
plause and cheering swept the thea
ter, the President thanked the actors
for an admirable performance and
said how much he had enjoyed the
theme of the play.
