Doumer, who IL rs, has increased
greatly In popularity since he be.
came president last June. He al.
ways remained above political quar-
reis and apparently had few poll
teal enemies.
Because Of his patriarchal ap.
pearance. his reputation for kind.
liness, and the loss OF his four
sons In the war, he always received
q warm reception from crowds at
public functions.
Immediately after the shooting,
q censorship was put on outgoing
cable message The Elysee pal
ace tried to insist at first that
the president was only slightly
wounded but the hospital admit
ted his true condition.
The shooting caused a tremend-
Gus sensation In Paris. The GUS
tomary rumors Of the presidents
death were spread, but were quick
ly refuted at the hospital. Doctors
left little doubt, however. that they
thought theh president was dying.

enough strength 80 doctors could
remove one bullet and probe for

ablc however, to touch the wound
behind the err, which was consid.
cred the worst.
Doumer had lost great guam.
tity OF blood before the TRANSMISSION.
The crowd outside the Eiysee
palace was silent. but bowling
throng shouted outside the nearby
police station, where the assassin
was chained behind bars.
At 4:40 y. m, I1:40 a. m. u. d,
IT, Prof Gausset said:
1.-THE ball In the head did not
touch the brain. Therefore I re-.
fuse to say the president 10 lost.

EDWARD q. ROBINSON IN 1.-TWO SECONDS" COMING TO
 WARNER STATE ON SAT.

For tho first time in his screen career, Edward c. Robinson will be seen us q lover when his latest First National starring vehicle, TWO Seconds" is flashed on the State thcater screen for it's first showing Saturday next.
 Heretofore associated with either lawless or hcartless char acters, Robinson turns to tho char acterization of an ordinary human being who had moro than his share of extraordinary trials and difficult ties in his struggle to make his way in the world. As John Allen, hero of Two Seconds" Robinson p0r- trays a man who has been double- crossed by love and who, despite all his efforts to save his honor, falls. Defeated at every turn, he finds himself in thrilling climax of grent dramatic intensity which is said to exceed in emotional power any of the stars past per- formanccs.
 Mervyn LeRoy, director of Five Star Final" and Little Caesar" in both of which Robinson created q sensation, in his direction of 1.-Two Seconds" introduced many innovn-
 tons in camera and directorial technique.
 Tho large support cast features Preston Foster, who plays the same part he hnd in tho Broadway production of 1.-TWO Seconds" Vi- vienne Osborne, stage and screen star, and Guy Kibbee. Important roles are portrayed by J. Carroll Naish, Adrienne Dore. Walter Walker, Burton Churchill. William Janncy and Edward McWade. The players were specially selected with m eye toward the specific types they were called upon to play,
