BRILLIANT HISTORICAL DRAMA The last days of the Romanoff regime in Russia are dramatically picturised in " Rasputin and the Empress," which will open a season at St. James' Theatre next week. John Barrymore appears as an aristocratic young prince, and Ethel Barrymore as the Tsarina, but the finest portrayal of the whole cast is given by Lionel Barrymore as the fanatical and sinister monk, Rasputin, whose influence had so fatal an effect on the fortunes of the royal house. C. Henry Gordon is the third figure in the scene picturised.
