Madame Tussaud's Exhibition - Several additions to this exhibition have been made since Easter; and the management have made various alterations in the building.
The Titanic disaster is recalled by Mr John Tussaud's model of Captain Smith, near which stands an effigy of Mr Marconi. The structural changes include an emergency exit from the Chamber of Horrors and rearrangement of the turnstiles at the entrance to the exhibition.
