New York, Oct 12.-(UP)-Cal- win Coolidge urges that Herbert Hoover be kept in the White House because things would have been much worse" but for his "vision, courage and leadership" and be. cause Franklin Roosevelt's silence on the bonus menaces economic re- covery.
 The former president appealed for the reelection of his own suc- cessor last night in an address to A cheering throng at Madison Square Garden and Q vast unseen
 T am convinced" he con- cluded that the public welfare re- auires that he be reelected
 Coolidge, in his own calm, droll manner, attacked democratic poll cies. and democratic leadership; he accused Franklin Roosevelt, without naming him, of prolonging the depression by falling to speak against the bonus.
 The former president reused his listeners to laughter by his. terse quotations from Grover Cleveland against reciprocal tariffs. He re- fered to the Forgotten man" of the Roosevelt speeches as the "or. dinary run of people," he injected by inference a criticism or Roose- welt for his inheritance of wealth and his costly education. He said President Hoover never was car ried into political office by the way of family influence"
 Coolidge came to the aid Of his marty in the closing stages of 9 Vigorous campaign to hold New England and New York in the re- publican column. Colonel VII. liam J. (Wild Bill) Donovan and other state candidates spoke brief ly. or were introduced from the same platform. Bands. flags, ana noise making machinery made the mass meeting an old time New York political rally.
 The managers played up the idea that the nation faced just such q crisis as faced by the party or Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and 1864. And when the former president was introduced, the band struck up "The Battle Hymn of the Repub- lie" whose first stanZa runs Mine eyes have seen the glory. of the coming of the Lord
 Coolidge lost little time in deliv- ering himself of a series or cpl. grammic statements that brought cheers or laughter from his near CTS.
 "Before we decide that we want to have a change we ought to de- termine what chances are Of se- curing any improvement; was the first.
 He continued:
 No government has yet been devised that could make the people prosperous all the time.

 But We are told again that by reducing our tariff we can increase

Great Star Scores Heavily
 in "TWO Seconds"

Edward c. Robinson adds new laurels to his actors crown with his interpretation of John Allen, the steel worker, in 1.-TWO Seconds" his fifth successive hit which be- gins n four day engagement at Warmers State to-day.
 In season that has been un- full of surprises and novel; ties. 1.-TWO Seconds" stands out ns something different. Nothing Rob- inson has done prepares the spec. tator for this one. 1t differs com. pietely from Little Caesar" and "F'ive Star Final" just as they dif. fer from "The Hatchet Man" From first scene to last, tho audience sat spellbound last night, lntently watching tho star in his first screen portrayal of Il passionate lover whose amour was unfortunate and misguided.
 The picture is. really two dramas in one-.the outward tangible drama of John Allen and his buddy and the woman who wrecks both their lives; and the inner drama within John Allen's soul, which Robinson makes you see and understand as clearly ns the physical action Of tho story.
 So thoroughly does tho star live his part that. at tho end, you feel that John Allen, in going 10 hls death, Is doing so because he wish ca to die. not because society has safd he must. He has been coh- demned for killing his wife. In his own mind, however, he is dying for tho accidental killing of his best friend and because he is convinced he must atone for thnt wrong. he refuses to take refuge behind the "unwltten law ns ho could easily have done.
