"The Fait or 1 he Rornanofts" Tells Russia's Startling History teen Sal- ter than the nest Historian Could Write 1t. MODEL THEATRE, NOVEMBER 7th. 'The Eall of the Romanoffs" is a mighty photo spectacle portraying the hitherto unknown history of Russia fur the past twenty years. Herbert -Lawton 'has pro- duced a picture that will go down in the annals of film history as a masterpiece. The photography is ,perfect. the staging of the film is immense, and the acting is of the highest quality. The hand of a master director can be seen in the shap- ing of this superb production, and it can be seen that no expense was spared in making the film historically correct. The story opens in a town of Siberia. the home of Rasputin, who is an uncouth drunkard. He is told of the death of the wife and child of the priest in the next town and a few hours tater mats the priest, who is returning home. Rasputin "prophesies' to the priest that he will find his wife and child dead upon his return home and declares that God will compen- sate him for the loss by making tum a bishop. The pnest is astonished to find his wife and child dead. and hails Ras- utm as a prophet from God himself. Rasptitin dresses himself in the garb of a prophet, hut the jeers of the villagers prompt him to go on a pilgrimage. He soon gets into trouble in another village and is thrown into jail., In the winter p lace of the Czar. an- other daughttr is born, and the royal family despairs of having an heir to the throne. The Siberian priest - now a bishop, true to Rasputin's prophecy - tells the Czar ot the tatter's wonderful powers, and the superstitious Czar sends for him immediately. Upon the arrival of Rasputm, he is asked whether or not an heir will be born, and he declares that the next child will be a boy. Upon the birth of the next child, which is a boy. Rasputin is greeted by the Char as a prophet from God., and the superstitious ruler becomes but the servant of the il- literate Siberian. Matters ot great im- portance are disposed of in a moment by Rasputin and a band of -mediums" that infest -the court. Iliodor, a Russian monk in the court, becomes the confidant ot. Rasputin, and by his splendid oratory is able td help suppress the revolution of 1905. Iliodor doubts the sanctity of Rasputin, and wren notbeen (eelin in'good health son had s he finds that the latter holds sway • over for the two weeks previous and had re• the women of the court presents the facts carved safe medical attention, but it before the head of the church. Rasputin is brought before the church tribunal, and is made to swear that he will immediately return to Siberia. This he does not do. but instead goes to the Czar, telling of the "conspiracy" to 'get him out of the way. By the enraged Czai's orders; lliodor is banished to England. and is un- frocked by the Rpasian Church. At a later date another monk, who received the confessional of a young lady at the court, finds also that Rasputin is not liv- ing up to the faith of one in his supposed position. The monk places this before the Czar and czarina. but .will not divulge the young lady's name. Rasputin is brought in to answer the charge, but manages to lie out of it. and succeeds in having the monk banished to riberia. By these occurrences. Rasputin finds -the faith in him shaken,and he determines to give the Czarewitch a sleeping powder. 1 his is done with the aid of one of the women of the court, and after the doctors fait to bring the child out of the sleep Rasputm is appealed to. He, knowing the time that the child should come out of the stupor. declares that thehild will awaken inside of four hours. TCzare- witch awakens, and the Czar and -zarina have even more faith in Rasputi than before. Even when Prince Felix days charges against Rasputin the latter is e to have him banished from the court the western front. Rasputin, believing the victory of Ger- many a foregone conclusion, works his way into the confidence of the Czarina. who is the cousin of the Kaiser. The two map out a plan for the signing of a Sep- arate peace by Russia, and prese1nt it to the Czar for signature: but the Atter re- fuses to listen to such a th' g.

He was appointed a Lance -Corporal but re- herted to the ranks at his own request and joined the transport rection, to shish section he was attached at the time of his death. Herb. was a marl who did not have to wait until death to gain the encomiums of his fellowmen. He was one of those generous good-hearted fellows who carry a smile with them wherever they go. who are always looking at the bnghterside of life and trying to make the burden lighter for a comrade. 1 -he funeral tool, place 00 October 9th with full military honors.

Two beautiful wreaths of pure whitechrysanthemumsand maidenhair fern were laid upon the coffin along with the deceased soldier's cap and bandolier.

This results in a good (horsewhipping for the illiterate villain, but Rasputin is able to have the Grand Duke banished to the Caucasus by the Czar.

GODERiCH'S PINE POINTS. "Comp" Says We Are Patriotic Uo This Way, Too. The October number rig The Mirror, published at Ottawa by Mr. Chas E. Compton, formerly of The Signal, has much of interest. That the edifor has not forgotten Goderich is indicated by an article in which our town is given credit for patriotism and some other good things. We quote: Huronites are patriotic, and have shown it in a practical way, for it is estimated that sorne 600 men from Goderich and immediate vicinity have joined the cokes. Considering the population of 5,000 people, this is a very good showing. As a summer resort and from a health- ful standpoint, the banks of Lake Humn cannot be surpassed. One of the moat enchanting sights that AO impresses the visitor is the sunset over Lake Huron. it has been commonly said that they are only rivalled in Italy. • The Hotel Sunset, art elaborate hostelry of 100 rooms, stands on:the hanks, 125 eel higher than the lake, and has a charming outlook. The hotel is con- ducted on the most up-to-date principles by Mr. C. C. Lee, who has taken every care to provide every sport and comfort for the guests. The transportation facilities are splen- did by water and rail. and the surround- ing agricultural district furnishes a fine distributing area. Hydro, generated at Niagara Falls, about 200 miles distant, furnishes un- limited power, and there is one farmer who milks his cows with 0.
