WILSON REUSHED
VISIT TO THEATER

President Wilson suffered no Ill
effects from his first excursion into
public life in a year and half, 1t
was said at the White House today.
The President attended local the
ater last night for the first time
since illness forced him into conhne-
ment in September, 1919.
White House attaches pointed to
the Presidents visit to the theater
as proof that the President Is FAR on
the road to recovery. The Presi-
dent has had no daily medical at
tendance now for two weeks. largely
because his personal physician, Rear
Admiral Grayson, himself has been
seriously i'll. Last nights visit was
said to be the forerunner of other
vista One of the things that has
caused Mr.. Wilson to be most fret
full during his long siege has been
his inability to attend shows, which
are his chief recreation.
The President with Mrs. Wilson.
and his brother-inlaw, John Ran
dolph Boiling, visited the National
Theater. for the performance OF
John Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln
And though the country may have
gone Republican, the audience indi-
Gated that the President, personally,
has lost none OF ms old-tlme popu-
larity. AS soon as he was recognized
in one of the lower boxes, the audi
ence rose and cheered until the
President, appearing rather en-
lbarrassed, acknowledged the greet
ing with bow.
The Prudential party came to the
theater via the backway. The big
White House car took them down an
alley to a rear entrance, whence they
passed back of the wings, into their
box. The President, according to the
theater attaches seemed rather full
of his old time pep" and made his
way from the car to his box with no
support save that of his silver-ringed
cane.
After the performance a large por-
| tion of the audience congregated at
the entrance, awaiting goodbye
view. But the President fooled them
II by leaving as .he had come, by the
back way.
II was the Presidents first public
Iappearance since he was forced to
n bs ndon his Western tour in behalf
of the League of Nations. more than
