ACTION AGAINST FILMS
CHARACTER IN "RASPUTIN"
, NEW 'YORK, October 27. / Princess Irian, wifo of Prince Felix Yousoupouff, who, in her legal papers, is said to be a cousin of King George, the ex-Kaiser, and the late Tsar, has filed a two-million-dollar libel suit against the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Film Corporation, producer of the film "Rasputin and the Empress." Princess Irian alleges that the character in the motion picture of Princess Natash, who in the film introduces tho monk into tho Tsar's household, and then becomes his mistress, is so thinly veiled that' people throughout the world have recognised the character as herself. l ..
She further charges that the foreword to the film ' declares: "A few characters are- still alive. The rest have mot death by violence," and that sho and her husband are the only ones involved in the action now living.
