Rasputin, the black monk of Rus-
sia, 1* the strangest figure of modern
times. Born and bred a peasant of
the humblest sort, he was raised by
the force of his hypnotic power over
women and by startling circumstances,
to a point where he was the real czar
of Russia. And while in this com-
manding position—dictating policies to
the czar and indulging in ihe wildest
sorts of excesses, he endeavored to
make a separate peace with Germany
for the purpose of bringing about the
downfall of Russia and further in-
creasing his vast power. But Rasput-
in's desire* made him overreach him-
self. The liberty-loving groups in the
empire sought his life and plans were
'al! made to either capture him and
send him to Siberia or to kill him at

which will be the attraction for four
days, tomorrow. Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, at the Majestic This
• big production has been produced
jwlth a notably brilliant cant The
stars are Montagu Love, June Elvdge,
Arthur Ashley, Julia Dean, Irving
Cummings and Hurbert Wilke, and in
addition to this list of superior film
favorites scores of others are seen.
Scenically this picture is magnificent.
It has been produced with a lavish
outlay of money and time Not a
thing has been overlooked which
would go to make "Rasputin. The
Black Monk.” more dramatically ef-
fective or impressive. It is right up
to the minute in timeliness and as it
tells the true story of the Russian
revolution and of the fall of the Ro-
manoffs it is one of the most vitally
important pictures of the year.
Vanity Fair of 1918, a big musical
revue, will be the feature attraction
at the Majestic this week. Jack Train-
or. Giga De Baugh and Esther Walk-
er are the stars of the large cast of
vocalists, comedians, musicians and
dancers The staze scenery end cos-
tumes are said to be elaborate. This
musical production has earned the
distinction of being the most preten-
tious musical offering of Ra kind in
vaudeville.
Natural nonsense, all for a laugh,

Alice Marion Stuart give the impres-
sion of their act which they have la-
beled naturally, with the assistance of
grotesque makeups, which are as
unique as they are original They sue-
reed in getting the very most out of
their songs, dances and dialogue. Mr.
Donahue is considered one of the fore-
most soft shoe dancers.
