Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt,
 Bought and Paid For--Strand

One of the greatest successes the stage has ever known Is Bought and Paid For7 by George Broadhurst, which comes to the Strand next week. William DeMille, one of the masters of screen art. has adapted this fam ous stage triumph for the screen with Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt as the leading players, and it is acclaim ed now as one of the finest film dramas the camera has ever recorded
 Should a wife accept lavish gifts from her husband as peace offetings after misbehavior on his part?
 Can a husband. addicted to drink, hope to retain his wife's love after charging that he bought and paid for her and that she is his by virtue Of such a procedure?
 Can a wife's love and self-respect he bought by man as one may buy a dog or some other domestic pet?
 These questions constitute several of the vital problems in Bought and Paid For" featuring Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt, which William de Mile has translated to the screen as a Paramount picture, from the fam ous stage success by George Broad hurst.
 In this story the husband a mll- lionaire, marries a working girl and 1avishes upon her costly gifts. For while they are happy, then the hus- band repeatedly comes home drunk. His wife, a woman of fine sensibili- ties Is mortified.

UNIVERSITIES ASK
 FOR ASSISTANCE Oxford and Cambridge Now No Longer Able to Sup
 port Themselves
By Associated Press

London. April 22.-Oxford and Cam bridge universities. for the first time in their long histories, are unable to support themselves, and have called upon the public for assistance.
 This was disclosed In report is sued by the royal commission ap- pointed under the chairmanship of exPremier Asquith to investigate the financial condition of the two in- stitutions, which two years ago was admittedly. so unsatisfactory that the government granted each of them an emergency subsidy of s30.000 annual ly, thus saving both colleges from collapse.
 Including these subsidies. Oxford had an income of sS24,7-1O in 1920. while that of Cambridge totaled $719,554. The commissions report rec ommends increasing the annul grants to S100,000 each, with additional pro- visions for extending educational fa- cilities for women and paying pen sion arrears.
 The commission stresses the point that today the universities have largely returned to their original function of ministering to the non wealthy. student. and have, in fact become student democracies."
 In addition to recommending am pie facilities for the education of women. the report pleads for more state scholarships, cheaper living costs and better pay, with pension prospects. for professors.
 Although the report regrets the comparative neglect of living languages at both universities, 1t notes that there is an increasing ten dency on the part Of business men to look to universities for trained men as future assistants and partners. It adds that business salaries now of fered to first-class science men would make it impossible to keep enough of the best men to do the teaching at Oxford and Cambridge were it not for their devotion to academic research and teaching and their attachment to the university"
 AS regards the cost of living for undergraduates. the report finds that it is too high. In 1919-20 the average total years cost for an arts student. including food but not clothes. wash ing. books, stationery and personal expenses, was s156 for Oxford and s145 for Cambridge. The cheapest col lege course during that year was OK ford. STA; Cambridge s123. The dear est was at Oxford. $202; Cambridge, SIP.
 Marquis Curzon is chancellor of Oxford. where the number of resi- dent undergraduate students accord ing to the latest statistics is 4,65l. while at Cambridge. where Sir Arthur Balfour is otancellof. there are 5.Iss students.
