"RASPUTIN FILM

COMPLAINT

An action, In which Princess Irina Alexandrovan ↑ of “Russia, wife of Prince Yousoupoff and a aleco of the murdered Czar, allegea libel in the film, "Rasputih, the Mad Monk," was mentioned in the Court of Appeal recently.

It was an appeal by Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Ltd., against an order in chambers by Mr. Justice Talbot in the action brought by the Princess.

Sir William Jowitt, K.C., for the company, said the film dealt with the life and death of Rasputin the notorious Russian pop in the Russian Court after the war,

In the statement of claim the Princess complained that the alm which had been exhibited in Lon don contained photographic ple tures of her and words which meant that she (called Princess Natasha in the film) had been seduced by and was the mistress of Rasputin.

The company had taken the mat- ter before a Master, and later Mr. Justice Talbot, in chambers, or-1 dored the Princess to deliver amended particulars, explaining fully how she said the film depict- ad seduction as an essential part of the plot.

STORY OF THE FILM.

Sir Patrick Hastings, K.C., for the Princess, said:

"The position of Prince Yousou- poff and the Princess is this and I have the Prince's authority to say it-the Prince is the man who was responsible for the death of Rasputin, and he married the plaintiff.

"In the film the man who takes the part of the one Instrumental in bringing about the death of Ras- putin is this Prince, but he is not married in the film. as he was in real life, to the plaintiff. He is engaged to Natasha, and the film ends with his going away to get married to her. That is the story. of the film.”.

Lord Hanworth (Master of the Rolls) said the court thought the justice of the caso would be met if they said this:

"The Princess undertaking to give further particulars of points of resemblance so far as possible within three days, and she being entitled to use the particulara al- ready given and those to be given in support of the charges in the innuendo-including. the charge that she was the mistress of Ras- putin-there would be no order. except that the costs of this appeal be costs in the action, the defence to be delivered in three days."
