Stopping at the larger cities of the United States in its nation-wide publicity campaign, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer trackless train, which has taken two years to construct and which contains a complete motion picture studio and sound equipment projector "on wheels," will come to Harvard Square this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock...
...Alger hero. He has a new wife, the former Mrs. Jennie Marston Burgard,-a home in Hollywood's fashionable Beverly Hills, a Lincoln car which he drives like mad. But Tibbett has cultivated no lofty conceits, no temperamental whimsies. He refused the private dining room which Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer gave him in Hollywood. He still thinks, and says, that singing is "just about the best fun that the human animal can have."

The murder occurs in the cellar of the Chegodieff palace where the Prince, secreted in the pantry, has been feeding Rasputin poisoned cakes and where Rasputin-under the impression that he is at the home of a friend-has been gobbling them with relish, while pawing at a group of pretty female companions. When Rasputin finds out at whose house he has been holding his lecherous revels, he takes Chegodieff downstairs...
