Screen Star ShoaOs Musical AbiHtu.

Viola Dana, the charming little Metro star, is called upon to play the violin in "The Girl Without a Soul,' the five-act screen produc- ton. written and directed By John II. Collins, to be. seen at the Coli scum tonight. When. B, A; Rolfe, who presents the production, dis covered this he asked Miss Dana to visit violin instructor, and learn the correct use of the bow so that her work upon the screen would ap- pear natusal.sa, Miss Dana smiled. and assented. ,,.
 A few days later, MT. Rolfe, sit ting in his "sanctum sanctorum' at the Metro studio, was. delighted to hear the strains of the Berceuse from "Jocelyn," and; hurried out to discover what musician had been engaged to assist Miss Dana. He found the little star herself. perch ed upon a table, palying, intent up- on her music To the big mana gers surprise at her sudden, fa- cility on the violin, Miss Dana ad- mitted that she began her study of that instrument at the age of five. As child she often appeared at public recitals, giving difficult mum bers. In the new Metro wonder play the star appears as twin daughters, Unity and Priscilla Beau mont. It is Priscilla who is the violinist.

new friend to go to Petrograd.
Rasputin's New Cult.

At the national capital Gregory now known as Rasputin, inaugu- rates a new cult and finds ready followers among the superstitious and dissipated,
 "All the cravings of nature are good, Rasputin teaches while his greedy eyes gaze hungrily at the beautiful women in his audience. "To not yield to yourS cravings is evil"
 His oncerts include many of the court leaders and others promi- nent in Russian life.
 As Rasputin's star rises his ego tism also. expands. When a syco~ phant fiatters. him regarding the future, he exclaims: .F
 'I shall make famous and feared the name once given Le in deris- ion"
 And the ladies?" leers his friend.
 Look" cries Rasputin, dramati- cally.
 Through peep-hole in the wall Rasputin shows his friend the inter for of the chapel, where beautiful and adoring ladies of the court are gathered to listen to the black monks teachings and do his will.
 Rasputin's Rise. n
 Madam Vasta, the Czarina's fla vorite lady in waiting, is one of those fascinated by Rasputin. She does everything possible to further his interests When the young Czarewitch becomes ill and the doc tors hold out no hope for him, Vas ta urges the distracted Czarina to call in Rasputin.
 ''I can save the boys life," de- clares Rasputin, when he arrives,
 The Czarewitch becomes well and ''but l must always be near him. !" Rasputin is established in his own apartments in the palace. Such influence does he gain that ten years later when fellow, conspira- tors fear their plans may reach the ears of the Czar, Rasputin in de- rision shouts:
 "I am the Czar."
 The world war breaks out. Ras- putin sees the chance for still great CT power, provided only be can cripple the Russian army and work with Germany.
