Special Dispatch to The Star
FAIRFAX, Va. December 19.-The
Fairfax, County Board of Equalization
and Review, now in session at Fairfax
Is making thorough investigation OF
the assessments made by the Board
Of Reassessment, which functioned dur
ing the Summer and Fall A large
number of changes have been made. In
= few instances the figures have been
decreased, but most of the changes
have raised, rather than lowered, as
sessments.
Notices are being mailed to taXpay-
ers when the figures are raised. The
original Board of Assessment did not
notify taxpayers what value had been
placed on the property, practically every
assessment in the northern section of
the county being raised. The burden
of examining the record books to de-
termine his new assessment and decide
whether or not he deems it equitable
has been left to the individual taxpayer
The notices which are being mailed
out this week by the Equalization Board
give the taxpayer 10 days in which to
appear to offer protest. After Deem
Der 81 the only recourse will be through
action of the Circuit Court. Compar
atively few citizens have appeared be-
fore the Equalization Board since it
opened its public hearings Tuesday
morning. The books of Dranesville
district are now under consideration
with Falls Church district and town
coming up next Monday and Tuesday
Mount Vernon district Friday and Sat-
urday after Christmas. The remainder
of the month will be devoted to Provi-
dence district.

hubbub, that Mrs. Hairy had filed no

ling" mystery play hit the high mark
of popular approval.
The National Players were really
gravitating at top speed. Certainly
the author of this blood-curdling
connection of hySteria and comedy
whoever he may be-the program
kept that fact as much of a mystery
as the rest of the play-would have
been more than satisfied. Never were
collins more unpleasantly cofhnlike,
daggers more realistically ominous,
hands more horribly sinister. shrieks
more provocatively horrible, groans
done with such agoniZed misery. II
the audience was prepared to be bold
and sat up manfully in the seats,
saying that nothing could brighten
them certainly by the end of those
first 10 minutes they were crying
Liars" down their own threats.
The sinister actions of this murder
yarn take place in the Red owl
Tavern, a deserted hosiery at the
edge of a lake, which hasn't been so
popular since three men vanished
from room No. /. On this particular
night comes a collection of humanity
to this funereal "hoose" and turns it
into a neo-Grand Central Station.
Two men who call themselves by the
same name arrive, and two young
women arrive and find within this
wind-Swept tavern mysterious
lady-owner and her insane husband,
who has a prediction for making
collins for ghosts. After one OF the
visitors is shot, after weird hands
have popped out from the innocent
grandfather's clock, after there have
been screams. catcalls, hooded spirits
and pins, needles, stethoscopes and
pistols floating around. after carrier
pigeon has tapped its wings against
the window gratings, after cellar
has unearthed several more mysteries,
including the clever young detective,
drugs and the foul fiend who was re-
sponsible for it all, you may know
what its all about. Or you may not.
In any case it doesn't matter. The
solution, meager as meager can be.
does not detract from the fact that
you have been shivering on the edge
Of your seat all evening.
1t seemed as if Edith Gresham was
the most luminous of the performers
last night, her comedy role assuming
the proportions of young riot.
Freddie Sherman, as the bewhiskered
sheriff, and Romano Calender in a
longer and more ominous role reaped
well-deserved honors. Adelaide Hib-
bard. too, was quite her better self
which is always better. Marion Wells
did what she could with luke-warm
role, and Forrest Orr was excellent
throughout.
All of which is indicative of good
show. show that even the tepid
weather should not keep you from
seeing. E. de S. M.
