INDIGNANT PRINCESS
(Press Assn.
BIG LIBEL ACTION metro-goldwyn-mayer" sued on rasputin film TWO MILLION DOLLAR CLAIM *
— By Telegraph — Copyright).
(Rec. 7.15 p.m.) New York, October 27 Princess Irian, wife of Prince Felix Yousoupouff, who in legal papers is said to he a cousin of Eing George V, the ex-Kaiser and the late Czar, has filed a two-million dollar Iibel suit against the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Film Corporation, producers of "Rasputin and the Empress." It is alleged that the character in the picture, Princess Natasch, who in the film introduced the monk into the Czar's household and then becomes his mistress, is so thinly veiled that people throughout the world recognise the character as herself. The princess further charges that the foreword to the film declares "a few of the characters are still alive. The rest met their death through violence" and that she and her husband are the only ones involved in the action now living.
