SECURITY BILL is
PASSED BY HOUSE
IN LOP.S|DED VOTE
Measure Faces Jam in Senate,
However, az MIRA and
Bonus Hold Stage

Washington. April 20.-(F)-Swept
through the house Of representatives
by a lop-sided vote, the Roosevelt
social security bill Saturday ran into
q legislative jam in the senate which
threatened long delay.
New attempts to write sweeping
changes into the big bill-which is
designed eventually to levy $2,783,-
100000 or more In new taxes for fl
nancial help to the aged, jobless, chill
dren and mothers-also were in pros.
pect.
The 372 to 80 vote which jammed
the bill through the house Friday was
made possible by smooth functioning
of the overwhelming Democratic ma
chine and by the "ayes" Of many Re-
publicans who had lost their battle to
delete the new taxes from the bill.
Off-the-record. some Of these Repub-
licans said they had to vote for the
whole bill on the final roll call to
avoid political suicide"
Fresh from this victory-which fol-
lowed almost three months OF dispute
the bill went to the senate finance
committee. already tied up in con-
troversy over the cash bonus and
MIRA.
Two Bills Ahead Of It
Chairman Harrison, (Dem., Miss).
announced the security program
would be pushed ahead as rapidly as
possible but said the bonus would be
taken up by his committee first. and
then the bill to extend NRA's life.
AS passed by the house. the meas
ure touches on all the phases of "econ-
omic security" outlined in a message
President Roosevelt sent to congress
ION Jan. II. However, In most cases
the aid for the persons covered would
materialize only If the states did
something for them.
There are two kinds Of old age PEN
sions:
l. If state has satisfactory pen
sion system for the aged needy over
IS, the federal government will match
what the state pays-up to SIS a
month.
2. The second system applies to
people working for salaries, commits
sions or income. On the first. $4,000
earned annually, the worker must pay
the federal government one per cent
beginning in January, 1887. Grad
ually, the tax increases to 3 per cent
in 1949. The employer must match
these tax payments, dollar for dollar
At IS years Of age, the worker gets
what he has paid In. plus interest
For example. II worker paid taxes
for 20 years on a salary Of $500 q
month, his monthly pension would
be $51.25.
Means Tax on Payrolls
AS for unemployment insurance
each employer Of 10 or more persons
will pay a per cent payroll tax be-
ginning in 1896. II the employers
state has unemployment insurance he
may deduct from his payment to
the federal government 80 per cent
of what he pays the state.
In the case Of child aid and the like,
most Of the money would be made
available to the states only II they
put up money Of their own.
The unemployment insurance and
the second system Of old age pensions
do not apply to farmers. domestic
servants, casual workers, seamen and
some other classes of workers.
Among those voting against the bill
were Burdick and Lemke, North Da-
kota Republicans.

First World War Pictures Are
Featured at Metropolitan

"The First World War;" a
graphic description of the horror
which fired the entire civilized
world a few short years ago, is
showing currently at Warner
Brothers Metropolitan.
Reputed to be a compilation Of
official scenes from the film files
of several nations, this collection
of shots gives more vividly than
the most convincing grafton, the
tragedy of war.
The voice of Pedro de Cordoba
tells in vibrant tones the many
places and persons passing on the
screen.
Divided into 10 thoroughly
interesting chapters, we are taken
from the turn of the century
when Europe was teaching its
children more and more military
games, down through the prepara-
tions being made throughout the
continent for the war which was
to terrify the world.
Great names, past and present,
heroes 10Th praised and unsung,
pass before us in the huge as
semblage Of tramping feet which
beat down the gallant blades of
grass struggling to cover stains of
blood on heretofore peaceful
fields.
Naval strategy is depicted in all
its clevernesS while breathlessly
we watch great laden ships sink
into the sea, helpless in the grip
of the U-boats.
The slight, though honored,
1ecompense a grateful nation
gives to the bereaved of it's dead
soldiers, a gold or silver token
bespeaking the honor and bravery
of a loved son, sounds a solemn
note in this record of heroic
deeds.
The only gay tone in the entire
program is found in the short sub
jects which augment the feature.
Ell Brendel, Phil Regan and Wini
Shaw have bright little piece
done in colorS, very beautiful
colors, in which We hear in song
the story of the villain and the
maid. There is also the customary
newsreel, comic and Vitaphone

D'OyIy Carte Is
Here M0nday

The long and eagerly awaited
Washington engagement of the
celebrated D'Oyly Carte Opera
Company of the Savoy Theater,
London, begins on Monday at the
National Theater and continues
for nine performances only. An
extra matinee will be given on
Friday in celebration of Wash
ington's Birthday. and five full
length operas and one short cur
tain-raiser by Gilbert and Sullivan
are to be presented here.
The repertory is as follows:
Monday evening, "The Con
doliers;" Tuesday evening, Trial
by Jury" followed by THE Pirates
of Penzance;" Wednesday, matinee
and night, ''The Mikado;" Thurs
day evening, "The Yeoman of the
Guard" Friday (extra), matinee
and night, "zolanthe," and Satur-
day, matinee and night, THE
Gondoliers."
The overture starts punctually
at 2:15 at the matinees and at
8:15 at night, and as the music of
Sir Arthur Sullivan is so distinct
a feature, all who attend will wish
to be seated when Isidore Godfrey,
director of the Savoyard orchestra,
starts the overture.
Much has been written con-
corning the secret of the D'Oyly
Carte Company's great and last
ing success. It is said to be due
to the infinite team work
throughout the entire organiza-
tion,-between the artists and the
stage and musical direction. To.
gether, they uphold the traditions
of the Savoyards, and the result
is performances of rare distinc-
tion and charm.
The entire organization comes
from London, including the entire
ensemble. The principals are
Misses Muriel Dickson, Dorothy
Gill, Marjorie Eyre, Eileen Moody,
Elizabeth Nickell-Lean and Kath-
leen Frances, and Messrs. John
Dean, Darrell Fancourt, Sydney
Granville, Martyr Green, Charles
Goulding, Leslie Rands. Frank

Alexander Korda, who brought
to the screen Henry VIII" and
Catherine the Great" is the pro-
ducer of THE Scarlet Pimpernel,"
which will be Washington's Birth
day attraction at RKO Keith's
Theater, with Leslie Howard and
Merle Oberon in the starring
roles.
Leslie Howard needs no intro
duction to Washington theater-
goers and Merle Oberon will be
remembered by her magnificent
performance in Henry VIII"
Adapted by Robert Sherwood
and Arthur Wimperis from the
famous novel of the same title
by Baroness Orczy, THE Scarlet
Pimpernel' follows the adventures
of Sir Percy Blakeney. dashing
E n glish gentleman, who mas
querades as a vain and fatuous
fop to conceal his activities as
the head of the fearless band
that snatched countless French
aristocrats from the jaws of the
guillotine.
Daring not even to confide in
his beautiful French wife, Mar
guerite, Sir Blakeney permits his
activities to cause an ever-widen-
ing breach between them, until she
innocently betrays him to ChauVe'
lin, the fiendiSh ambassador of
the Republic of England. Then.
learning that he is the Scarlet
Pimpernel, she rushes to her hus-
bands aid too late to warn him.
How Sir Blakeney cleverly out
wits Chauvelin in the very face of
a firing squad and opens the way
to new love and understanding be-
tween himself and Marguerite
forms thrilling climax.
Harold Young directed "The
Scarlet Pimpernel," which London
Films produced for release through
United Artists.
Prominent in the supporting cast
are Raymond Massey, Nigel Bruce,
Joan Gardner, Anthony Bushell,
BramWell Fletcher and others.

"Copperfie|d" Is
Held Over

All true lovers of Charles Dick
ems, and one feels sure they are in
the majority, will be glad to know
that David Copperfield," the
authors favorite child, enters its
second week at Loew's Palace.
No attempt at criticism can be
safely attempted in the case Of
this meritorious film. George
Cukor, who gave us such artistry
in his worthwhile direction of that
other classic. Little Women" has
again turned out a faithful version
of this well-loved story.
All your favorite characters are
here splendidly acted by as an i'm
posing array of actors as Holly
wood has assembled to date.
Special honors go to Master
Freddy Bartholomew. who came
all the way across from England
to play the younger David. Per-
haps the most touching scenes are
David'S farewell with the Micaw-
bers and the death of Dora, the
child wife. However, these scenes
of pathos are we'll contrasted by
ample shafts of true Dickens
humor and wit.
With such an example one stops
to wonder why Hollywood has so
long kept the classics from us,
surfeiting us with their shoddier
efforts.

well directed by Walter Lang and
played to the hilt by the glib
Master Tracy.
There's deal of first rate aid
ing and abetting too. Our old
friend, Mr.. Durante, gets a lot
of comedy into his characterize
ton of a nimble-pawed pick
pocket. Sally Eilers brings a deal
of charm to bear, and a very
little fellow with the very big
name of John Richard Walters
vies for honors in the sweep
stakes of extremely Juvenile
trouperS.
Picture Is Lively
The background is that of the
tent-show which gives the piece
its title, and Mr.. Tracy is the
daddy of the half-orphaned baby
affectionately called "Poochie."
Anything may happen in a car
nival, and almost anything to a
circus tough guy who attempts
mothering child. And in the
picture much occurs.
To begin with, there is the
usual interference of the welfare
snoopers intent upon the separa-
ton of father and son. Then
there is the problem of falling
in love with a girl who doesn't
object to a ready-made family.
And with these the plot concerns
itself.
Meantime there are an excit.
ing circus "clem," with fists and
sticks flying, spectacular fight
ing-the-flames episode. and any
number of amusing sidelights
such as freak shows, baby shows
and all the other shows that
make up the atmosphere of a
carnival.
Nothing new, perhaps, but pre-.
sented in fresh, vigorous man
ner, which is fun to watch. Need
less to say, there's an eventual
happy ending, with Mr.. Tracy
selecting Miss Eilers as the oh.
ject of his affections, with the
approval of Mr.. Durante and the
more vitality concerned John Rich
ard Walters. In less than lead
ing roles, Thomas Jackson, Flor
ence Rice, Lucien Littlefield. Lee
Moran and Helen Jerome Eddy
contribute to the entertainment.
