At the Academy tomorrow. matinee

VIII present bought and Paid For"
Here is Il play that is bursting to it's
seams with that eVaneScent quality
much discussed and never Tangible
human interest II gets mighty close
TO the weeDfont at times, every once
in while you almost persuade your
self It's preaching Il sermon and nam
mcrine home moral. then you've for
gotten 20 analyZc because all your con-
centration is focused on its delightful
comedy. Three fourths OF Bought and
Paid For" is comedy, the rest is most
serious. George Broadhurst has writ
ten many pieces, but this Is his strong
est and most enduring contribution TO
the American stage. In his turn. Will
liam a. Brady has seen that the intre-
preting company is faultleSs. and that
the staging is appropriate. The entire
argument revolves about the right of
n man to degrade his wife because of
legal ties. And on this very point
hinges one of the most important prob
lens in the marriage relation to-day.
But he is your husband and he has a
right says Fanny. Virginia's sister, In
discussing Roberts actions. Right"
replies Virginia. Right. Why, the
law permits in some States a child of
thirteen TO marry, II permits black
man to marry white woman-but 1t
doesn't make II right
The play is, in it's frankness, one OF
the most realistic presentations Of the
problem that this country has wit
messed.

Called the Governor.
Before the meeting yesterday after
noon Chairman y. q. Weaver and sev-
eral OF the members waited on Cover
nor Stuart in his Office. to learn his
views on the constitution of the pro-
posed tax committee or commission.
Governor Stuart told the committee
covered in the main in his spcciIt
message To the Legislature. in the fol-
lowing words
Il venture 20 recommend that the
General Assembly proceed, as soon as
practicable, to the work of constituting
a body of competent persons, composed
in part. at least, of members of tho
Senate and House OF Delegates, to con-
slider the subject OF taxation In its en-
tirety," etc.
The Governor said further to his
callers that If the commission to DO
created by the General Assembly is TO
be composed wholly of members OF the
two bodies. there would seem to be no
room for the exercise by the executive
OF the appointing power. 1t being per-
fectly clear that the appointment of
committees of the Senate and tho
House Of Delegates to do legislative
work is part OF the powers and duties
OF the presiding officers, and he would
not encronch on these powers even If
asked To do SO
II, however, he concluded. the Cen
eral Assembly should provide for n
commission constituted partly of others
than members Of the Legislature, and
the power OF appointment of outside
persons should be conferred on the
Governor he would. of course make
the appointments.
Opposed to Twenty Members.
me original recomme ndation OF the
committee for a special committee of
twenty members met with little favor
as IL was feared that ii would be UNI
wicldly and expensive, and lead only TO
endless diversity OF opinion. Chairman
Weaver II it be known from the first
that he did not sickle for the num-
Der, but that his committee believed
mat as the Legislature had been elect
ell on the issue of tax reform, and was
responsible 10 the people for the re-
tive body, and not n commission of
outsiders. though he agreed that the
committee should have ample authority
10 employ expert advice.
