Ask Charles Aberhart or any good ahuggist. a hazard fashion of the old exhibition. The floor space in the new Tus- saudss building is almost double that in the old. The four floors are built round a central well and are "conniect- •ed by elevators and staircases. The exhibits on these floors will' be ar- ranged. according to a definite scheme of relationships. In the hall of kings, for example, effigies of the kings of England from William the Conquexor to King George and Queen Mary will be shown with- eut many popular fallacies with which they have 'heretofore been adorned. Howe many of us'will stand correct- ed in the presence of William Rufus, without his red hair? lie will teach us that he got his nickname from his red face and not his red head. And we will no longer be able to watch the smouldering cakes with Alfred the Great, for he has been revised out of the exhibition. The diary of Queen Victoria, re- cently .published, has been carefully studied so that the details in the tab- leau representing the announcement to her, of her accession to the throne, in 1837, may be correct to the last particular. The throne is a replica of that in Buckingham Palace and figures of Nelson and Wellington will he shown on eilther side of it. Elsewhere there willbe a states- men's group, a religious group, a lit- erary group, and a sportsmen's group with Dempsey, Hobbs, Beckett and others. The present dominion prime ministers will have n che o themselves, and • a group of figure:, representing men and women who led branches of,he services in the great war will hale another. The figures will be shown against draperies of a dark brownish tone and the •1hting will be invisible. The reward which tradition o to anyone who would stay all night- in the chamber of horrors, and which is now offered afresh by the new Tus- saud's is probably safe. For the new "chamber" is more awesome than ev. er. It is now constructed like a dungeon, approached by a long, nar- row, winding stair. The ceiling of the low, but spacious crypt is sup- ported on arches like the dungeon galleries in medieval fortresses. The white stones of which this sombre and forbidding chamber are built have been blackened over, and there are grim recesses like cells, and lurk- ing shadows everywhere. A few lights, fantastically colored, pick out of the darkness, with bale- ul, flickering gleams, the famous criminals—past, present and to come. There is one empty cell, grimly a- wadting its occuparst. All the fold relics are retained. The new Tussaud's contains some- thing more than an exhibition of waxworks. It has an elaborate movie theatre, which will seat 2,000; a vast restaurant; and just inside the main entrance, a luxurious lounlge fitted out with, facilities for reading, writ- ing and telephoning. Though the added wonders in a way make the new Tussaud"s even more fascinating than the old, many will miss the age-old air of romance that breathed from the former wax figures. Memories will be stirred on our first visit. We will recall the dramatic in- cident on the Iron Duke on his first visit to Tussaud's, standing, with hat removed, when brqught face to face with the strange And suggestive ef- ffigy of the man who 37 years before had given him so much trouble to sub- due, Napoleon still lies in state on a camp bed but it is not the one us- ed by him at St. Helena; neither ia the cloak lying at his feet the one worn at 'Marengo. The boots of Color -Sergeant Bates, of the 24th Massachusetts (U.S. Artil- lery) Regiment, who carried the Am- erican flag from Gretna Green to London, in 1872, are gone forever— "along or— along with the piece of flag presented by hien to Tussaud's. But his words still echo down the years: "May the flags of both countries ever wave in freedom and peace till that 'far freer time!! when there shall be but one flag, because one people on the face of the eaiith!" Gone, too, is the romantic shilling saved because an American lady, who paid for admission with it, said that it had been given to ber in the States by an English aunt with tthe instruc- tions that if ever she went to London the shilling should be expressly spent on her admission to Madame Tus- saud's. The "Master" offered to give it 'back to her, but she thanked him and said: . "No, I guess r( could not break faith with nay aunt! The shilling has found its appointed place in Madame Tus- sand's till, after many years, and it .have done as I was told." All these, and ninny more memoriesy, se delightfully recalled in "The Ro- mance of Tussaud's," ;by Mr. John Tussaud, will be stirred. But some of us -will in imagination always see Maame Tuseaud herself—the quaint little old Varian 1n black shawl and frilled mopcap, with her gaunt nose dpsoiracles and her load of fearful trttcftti+es,, treating about this new world in wast; searching vainly for her bwal ateginfalte hand1*atk, whio'h, /rite the rorrafth. of P elf,, has melted into nahingne NEW MADAME TUSSAUD'S Visitors to London this spring will Find that a new Tussaud's has arisen Phoenix -like from the ashes on the original site, and a considerable ex- -tension to it in Baker street. On March 18, 1925, the famous -waxworks exhibition, which had de- -lighted and thrilled countless children of all ages since its 'establishment in 1835, was destroyed by a wholesale a`burning in effigy." The most spec- tacular fire London had seen for many years aroused painful interest and widespread regret. Many of the /historical relics licked up by the flames were irreplaceable, especially those of Napoleon Bonaparte. All -that was left of the military carriage which he used in Russia and in which -/he rode to and from thefield of Waterloo., was a heap of twisted met - After the fire the charred and mutilated wax figures, some of wh' - ihad come safely through the red slays of the French revolution, added at. new "chamber of horrors" to the -old one, which was the only depart- ment to be spared. The onlookers the next morning were recalling the venerable fable of the $5,000 offered to anyone who would dare to face a -might in the "chamber" 'alone. The rescued property consisted -chiefly of pictures—and a green par- rot, half -stupefied by smoke in its 'cage, which is reported to have re- marked on coming to: "This is a rotten business!" The famous model of the policeman who used to stand within the entrance hall, and to whom so many visitors used to address ques- tions thinking it was real, was saved, too, much to the satisfaction of the 7iolicemen on duty who looked upon '/him as one of their "comrades." In; the new building, which is out- -wardly the same as the one burned, -our old friend the policeman, has been retired on pension, and his place is taken by a girl of to -day, who, dress- ed as a program seller, will offer cat- atlogues. •Miay her lifelikeness carry red tag.
