Mies Barrymore's characterization of the Czarina stands as her debut in dialogue pictures, her only other cinema work having been in the era of silent filmas. John Berry- more has the rule of Prince Che- godieff, who tries in vain to prevent the downfall of the Russian' aris- tocracy, while' Lionel is to be seen as Rasputin, more generally known the Mad Monk, or "Holy Devil."

Ralph Morgan, who had the role of Charlie Marsden in "Strange In- torude," appears as the Czar. Dian Wynyard, the London stage star, has

the romantic lead opposite John Barrymore, and the child star, Tad Alexander, enacts the difficult part of the sickly Czarevitch who falls into the power of the uncanny Rasputin. Important supporting roles are played by C. Henry Gor don and Edward Arnold.
