PAULINE FREDERIck-LYcEuM

Pauline Frederick in her latest dramatic triumph. "Josselyn's Wife" and dashing George Walsh in 'The Equality Man." one of those smash ing athletic pictures in which he ap- pears to such excellent advantage, are the top notchers atthe Lyceum theater today and for the remainder of the week.
 "Josselyn's Wife" is a highly dramatic opus telling in graphic pie lures the story of woman's ideals shattered by a philandering society man who. after jilting her, returns with his younger wife, only to con- tnue his now unwelcome attentions upon the woman who has in the meantime married his very best friend.
 Throughout this highly entertain ing film Miss Frederick. who plays the title role, gives one of her great est performances, and in the scene where she is trapped in the artist studio and there is confronted by her husband, the star reaches her greatest heights of histrionic ability.
 The story of "Josselyn's Wife' was suggested from the novel of the same name by Kathleen Norris.

NEWINGT0N LIST
 TOTALS S5,l97,303
Increase Of S600,000 in Assess
 nentS Over Last Year

The assessors yesterday finished their abstract book. The book shows total for the 1926 grand list of s5,197,30S. This is gain of ap- proMmately $6O0,OOO over the total of last year. From this total there will be a few changes by the board of relief. Exemptions of sS1,695, bring the net total to S5,115,60S. The resident list amounts to s3,S24,7SS and the nonresident list totals s1,- 372,570. .--
 The largest individual resident property holder is L. l.. Redick with a total Of s63,440. The Lemuel w. Camp estate is next with holdings totaling s54,724. Last year the Camp estate was first but Mir. Re dicks new buildings at the north end of the town place him at the head of the list.
 John H. Carr of the John H. Carr Land Go. of Boston is the largest nonresident owner with a total of s145,SS9, and the Edward Bali Co. second with s12S,9G3.
 With this large grand list a tax of 20 mills would cover the budget which was approved by the finance board last fall. However it is probable that the rate will be at least 20iA mills. Even this would be a reduction of one mill. Such a reduction will be welcomed by prop erty owners since the rate has been well above 20 mills for several years.
 A list of those persons whose property is valued at s6,oO0 or over follows:
