INSIDE STORY
(Contirued from PAGE Onel


He was decidedly sick man. He
was threatened with Bright's disease,
which PHYSICIANS diagnosed as having
been brought about by a particular
treatment for frequent head colds to
which he and the first Mrs. Wilson
were subject, The wife died soon
after but his case yielded to care.
Old illness Appears.
Some years before that, Mr.. Wilson
had suffered a thrombosis in one OF
his legs. 1t was the lodging of a
blood clot in an artery, but because OF
its location not serious. 1t was, how
ever, complaint of the same nature
| which caused his breakdown in 1919,
| when the clot formed on the right
side of his brain impairing the control
) of his left arm and leg.
Little known also, is the fact that
| Mr.. Wilson, like Mr.. Roosevelt, was
practically sightless in one of his eyes.
Bursting blood vessels in the retina
practically made it useless, although
| the impairment was in part overcome
by the use of eye glasses. re suffer
| ed also from nervous indigestion
With a predisposition to take cold
| easily added to this list of troubles,
Woodrow Wilson took up the arduous
duties of the presidency with far less
physical equipment than the public
generally gave him credit for.
| Once, in office the round of com
plexities' which brought Mr.. Wilson
praise on one side and damnation on
| the other was not long in starting,
and like a snow ball rolling down hill
continued to take on vOlums until the
! day of his departure from the white
house.
Once, in the midst of his siege OF
prostra ton which accompanied the
first stages of his present illness, he
debated with himself whether he
ought not to relinquish his office and
give way to successor. Later when
health had improved and the Demo
cratic convention at San Francisco
was balloting night and day to agree
on presidential nominee, Mr.. Wilson
debated with himself whether he
should be a candidate for third
term. 1t could not be said that either
subject reached the stage of being
considered" But it is known that Mr.
| Wilson gave the subjects some
thought.
These with many other things form
the highly interesting unwrtten chap
tiers of Woodrow Wilson's life. They
would make a volume of far more en-
crossing reading than anything thai
ever had been written about him.
Such a volume might include Gin

son settled 1t, by playing a game the
president invented during an idle hour
on the steamer George Washington on
one of the trips to and from the peace
conference. 1t was game of percent
ages with certain scpres allotted to
the various advantages or amuse-
ments of life of which both were most
fond. Baltimore, as the game worked
out. had the highest total. But break

Washington, where almost all OF Mrs.
Wilson's family reside.

held by the Imperial German govern
ment for embassy. Mr.. wilson ex-

the spot where the kaiser expected MS

been thrown around his physical con-

Mr.. Wilson was not stricken on the
league if nations speaking trip in
the west as is popularity supposed. but

the white house. Warning signals OF
! the coming attack were what caused
! his return. For three days after he
! came back he seemed to be lmproV

day before he was laid low, and On the
night before played billiards. The
seizure came in the night, at an hour
when the president was alone. and he
! was found stricken just before day
; light.
! For a week his life was despaireo

secret by his family. Then came

the president was confined to his bed

oy the pen of the historian after
woodrow Wilson has been assigned
to his proper niche in the wall of his
tory. While the principal actors in
tnat series of dramas live. all these
things are likely to remain behind the
scenes. Mr.. Wilson's retirement to
private life is not likely to release
them for public consumption.
Until the beginning of the World
war Mr.. Wilson held the attention OF
the country with his swift strokes to
getting legislation from congress
With the coming of the war he de-
voted the last two years of his first
term to an attempt to keep the United
states out of the conflict, and as the
seemingly inevitable drift toward wal
set IN, he gradually assumed the dip
iomatlc leadership of the nations ar
rayed against Germany and her allies
and finally assumed what his parti
sans characterized as the moral lead
ership of the world.

ence with Germany he displayed many
homely human emotions.
On May Z, 1915, when Mr.. Wilson
heard the news of the sinking of the
Lusitania, he was almost at the end
of his patience. Like a man making
a last effort to avoid a quarrel with q
wife who has just laid on the las
straw, he clapped on his hat and went
out and walked around the block. He
knew how to give vent to his emo

In the minds Of those who witnessed
Washington theatre, either at the mat

which centerea' about the inimitable

expecting burlesque, we know that in
it's stead you saw classic dancing,
many exceptionally beautiful costumes
and settings. and found entertainment
in the music, both vocal and instru-
mental. If there ever was a greater
number of all types of girls upon a
Richmond stage, it must have been
before the writer was interested in
such reviews.
While the plot was absolutely for
gotten in the makeup of the show,
patrons were told to expect this by
Mr.. A. b. Marcus. producer, when he
wrote, ats (the show's) mission is di-
version, not pedagogics." Bearing this
IN mind, when judging the presenta-
ton, it is our opinion that the pro-
duction meets its aim.
Beautiful Scenes.
There were several scenes which for
richness in color and scenic effect, de-
serve commendatory mention. One
was Under the Sea-" This scene oc-
cupied but a few minutes, but it
caused expressions of admiration from
the audience. Another of the unus-
ually pleasing scenes was I'm the
Shadow of the Sphinx" Much more
time was given to this scene. Dances
given before the image of the great
sphinx included the Sun Worship
pers," Dance of the Nile" and a
Snake Dance" 49,
Randall proved themselves a capable
dancing team. They held the stage in
the "Fandango Els Panalo," and the
Dance Supreme"
AS a comedian, Mike Sack is grand
yet he certainly has a close second
in Charley Abbate. Mr.. Abate is
hardly five feet tall, but that is an aid
in his work. His abality to stutter. to
maintain silly grin upon his face,
and be generally cuckoo" marks him
for the attention of the audience at
once. When once Mike Sack and
Charley Abbate are seen together in
the show, one thinks as much of see
ing Mutt and Jeff separated, as the
appearance of one without the other
