AT THE ALCAZAR

The true story of Russia, the events leading up to the revolution and the death of RaSputin, the black force be- hind the Czar, are told in the tremen- dous eight-reel super picture, "Raspu- tin, the Black Monk showing at the Alcazar today, Monday and Tuesday.
 The facts connected with the fall of the Romanoffs are told in a way that will enthrall every movie fan, every stu dent of history and every person who is interested in keeping up with the biggest events of the times
 Rasputin Is a Russian peasant and himself as a monk. He gains power over the Czar and Czarina and when the world war breaks out, Rasputin sees greater power provided he can cripple the Russian army and work with Ger many. He forthwith organizes a plot among the various ministers to cripple the army in the field; one minister to stop the food supply another hinder ing the supply of ammunition, a third showing discontent among the soldiers, etc. But here he makes mistake. He is seized by the revolutionists and is killed The Czar is arrested and ex- fled and the play ends happily for it's deserving personages as the day of Rus sia's long sought freedom daMns clear and bright.
 Money has been spent on this picture with a lavish hand. The construction of a single street used in a few of the scenes cost S10,000 and the other settings are proporitonately expensive. But the result justifies the expenditures. "Ras- putin, the Black Monk" is a gripping masterpiece. It tells the inside history of the biggest event of the worlds big gest war and reveals a charming TO- nance connected with the great revo- lution. It moves swiftly. It is an un- forgetable masterpiece.

Is there anything stranger than the undisputed fact that in Morocco pigs climb strees in search of nuts? Not only pigs but goats The puzzle is not in the pigs and goats, however, for they are of the common variety that we see here. It is the tree that is strange. It is called the argan nut tree and it grows near Agadir. Usually it shoots out from steep hillside. The trunk is broad and flat and almost horizontal, and so are the main branches, forming ample and solid foothold for any ani- mai that may be tempted by the olive shaped nuts growing within easy reach of the main branches.
