MADAME TUSSAUD’S.
FAAIGUS WAXVVORK REJ-OPENED. A GREAT TRANSFORMATION (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN PRESS 'ASSOCIATIONUNITED SERVICE.) Received 9.35 a.m. to-day. LONDON, April 27. Every type of Londoner' and many Americans thronged Madame Tussaud’s exhibition, rescued from the ashes after three years, and re-opened with bands playing, and flags flying. The old dinginess has given way to a marble hall, marble stairs, electric .its and a gold balustrade. Crowds flocked round the Royal family group, declaring excitedly that the Queen was lovely and that the- Prince of Wales was just like his picture. All the old Kings and Queens were faith-! . ully resurrected, while Gob-ham and Lindbergh are among the latest arrivals. The new “chamber of horrors” is a dim, dark dungeon with stray beams of light .shining on the faces of criminals.
