...want to make her Empress by a coup d'état. Her principal concern is that Peter will not be harmed-a matter which historically bothered Catherine II not at all. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. puts cruelty and craft in his performance of Peter III but lets his relish in clothes-swishing robes, shiny boots & swords-suggest a highschool senior in a commencement play.

Especially hostile to the Soviet is Tashnag, an organization dedicated to the restoration of the old Armenian Republic. Archbishop Tourian, 54, only churchman at the Manhattan banquet to Maxim Litvinoff last November, was accused of being proSoviet.
