Grand Duchess
Here is History! Grand Duchess Marie reviews "Rasputin" the startling film based on the Russian drama that shocked the world
The Grand Duchess Marie, whose book, "Education of a Princess," won for her the high regard of the American public. This glamorous royal lady has written for SCREENLAND the fascinating review of the film "Rasputin."

Not only were they severely judged as public characters but also as human beings, every detail of their private lives having been pried into and dissected. The unparalleled tragedy of their fate has attracted less sympathy than curiosity, innumerable fantastic and lurid tales have been spun around their names, unscrupulous tales purposely distorting history and misinterpreting

They told me it was impossible! That the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia would not write about "Rasputin," the motion picture based on actual events in Russian history in which her own family figured. That it was a subject too intimate, too painful. They were ! The Grand Marie was keenly interested in "Rasputin" — and now I have the great privilege of presenting her exclusive review to SCREENLAND readers! I believe it is the most amazing feature ever published in a screen magazine. DELIGHT EVANS, Editor

When you see the scene in the film "Rasputin" in which the Empress leaves the train after bidding the Emperor farewell, note the two cossacks standing on guard. One of the two, the Grand Duchess Marie tells us, is an ex-member of the Russian Emperor's escort, and had performed the same duties in reality! Left, another scene which the Grand Duchess Marie found particularly poignant: the leavetaking of the Emperor and Empress, played by Ralph Morgan and Miss Ethel Barry more.
