BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

THE course Of true love, or any
kind Of love for that matter,
certainly Is not smooth in
L French motion pictures. The
people in love in Happiness" and
Ladies' Lake." the two Gallo cine
mas on the Belasco's bill this week,
have S pretty rocky time Of it.
The first, Happiness" is more
than little dramatic, and it's hon.
est for the most part in its dra-
mates. No CHEEKY thing, this piece,
but it tells . moving and sometimes
poignant story. 1t has Charles Boyer
In q sincere and intense portrayal OF
young anarchist who sets out to
murder a movie star because he feels
she Is the incarnation Of the mob in
fatuation he despises, but who dis
covers himself falling in love with
the girl.
There's dramatic trial (after
which Boyer is Jailed for few days
for attempting murder. which seems
= rather lenient way to look at
things), and then love blooms to
spread its light over everything.
Only before it can spread its light
something goes amiss and Boyer and
the star (Gaby Morlay) find their
"Happiness" in memories or some
thing, with him sitting in a theater
watching her image on the screen.
It's f1lm that has its moments, and
It has more than few of them.
About the only thing we have to
say about Ladies Lake" is that a
fellow named Eric wasted a lot Of
time on the wrong side of the lake
when Simone Simon was on the
other side and there were plenty Of
boats to be had. Eric is another
who found that love is not all beer
and skittles, and his troubles pro-
vide some enjoyable cinema enter
tainment up to a certain point, the
point being the moment you begin
to wonder if maybe the director

By the Associated Press.
An attempt to unite supporters OF
all old-age pension measures to seek
early action on compromise legislation
has developed from a meeting of the
Steering Committee for the revised
Z Townsend plan bill
Representatives Crosby, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania and Brewster, Re-
publican, of Maine said a meeting
probably would be called in the next
few days. The main point of conten-
ton preventing an agreement, Crosby
said is a provision in his Townsend
bill for compulsory spending of pen
sion money
Some members of the Townsend
Steering Committee indicated that
provision might be dropped.
There is every indication of a
conciliatory attitude" Brewster said.
Crosby said at least 100 members
were behind the Townsend bill alone.
1t would finance pensions of up to
5000 a month by a 3 per cent trans
action tax. The measure is sponsored
by DR.. F. E. Townsend and his pension
organization.

Concrete suggestions as TO what

welfare leaders last night in the

arranged by the Community Chest and
the Public Welfare Board in co-opera-
ton with Station WJSV.
The speakers were Herbert L. VIII
lett, jr., director of the Chest; Dr.
Frederick w. Perkins, chairman of tho
Public Assistance Division of the We
fare Board and Coleman Jennings
outstanding welfare leader.
In answer to question by Hugh
Conover, WJSV announcer. Jennings
said he had personally investigated
the problems faced by many OF the

tiOn in this community"
Could Find No Food.
The first family he visited consister
of an unemployed man, his wife anC
10 children. He said he looked IL
every nook and Granny" where food
might be stored and could find none
DR.. Perkins pointed out that many
persons have the idea that the
appropriation We get from Congtess
is a Federal grant, but it isn't. 1t is
a municipal grant from our City
Council-and it isn't enough to do
the job our cities are expected to do
Comparing Washington with other
cities in this connection. he said
Buffalo was granted s537,000 for gen.
eral relief during December, and Gin
cinnati, during the same period, $323,-
900. At the same time, this city,
slightly larger than either of the
other two, received only $4,000, and
this was limited TO the relief Of un-
employables only. leaving nothing for
the employables.
Funds Required Elsewhere.
Willett said 1925 900 is budgeted by
| the Chest for the relief of employables
but that no more than that amount
could be expended for direct relief,
since it would drain the funds neces-
! sary for hospitals, orphanaees and
other similar institutions.
He explained the Chest, represent

support the charitable institutions.
while the money of the Welfare Board

In summing up the problem. Jen-
nings said civic-minded individuals
who have come to realize how critical

menting the funds that have come
into the Community Chest, and by
letting the authorities know that
they are not satisfied to live IN a
