TO SEE TOWERS DUNGEONS
Torture Chamber of Tudor and
Stuart Days Will Be Opened.
fRy Cahle 70 Nc TrIbune.

London. Nov. S.-The dungeons OF
the White Tower and the Bloody
Tower. two OF the most interesting
parts of the Tower OF London, VIII De
thrown open to the public for the first
time within the next few months, ana
the PRISONS torture chamber VIII De
seen for. the first time in all its eerie
and mysterious gloom.
In the wall dividing the two dun
reons is the narrow black cage, like
recess, in which Guy Fawkes was I'M
INJURED between periods OF torture on
the rack, and all about the walls are
hanging instruments or torture
thumbscrews, temple bands, soaring
irons and a rack. Only few yards
away from the well Of the Tower In
dungeon is small domelike recess
where the gallant and unfortunate
Walter Raleigh spent ten years of his
life. and, as II by the irony of fate. al
most overlooking the spot is model OF
Queen Elizabeth wearing the gorgeous
state robes in which she went to st.
Pauls TO celebrate the triumph OF her
fleet over the Spanish Armada.
Seven hundred Jews once sought
refuge from a London mob in the dun
geons and spent long days and nights
in darkness, huddled together, until
they crept out and sought safety else
where.
While a good part OF the Tower has
been open to the public for a long
time, still many of the historical parts
are always closed.

QUEEN AIDING CHARITIES
London Society Patronizing

DOLL SHOW PLEASES MANY
Sovereign Herself Made Some

on Sale.
fBy Gable 10 The Tribune


London. Nov. S.-Military baZaars,
benefit matinees. church fairs, fruit
and flower shows and similar enter
tainments are taking up the main part
Of London society's time in November.
as the season really is not yet in full
swing. Most of the social affairs are
informal dances, Eat homes and res
taurant entertaining. and in the mean
time the ladies of fashion are giving
their time, attention and money to
charities.
For instance. last week a doll show
Lady Wernher held for the Children's
Happy Evenings Association attracted
much attention, especially as Queen
Mary sent fifteen dolls, representing a
group Of nursery children, including a
baby in a cream coat hugging its bot
tie. its one-year-old brother in long
skirts. a doll in typical nursery dress
and a seaside girl with white knitted
Jersey and straw hat.
The show was really interesting. for
there was an exact replica of Prince
and Princess Arthur of Connaught's
bridal group, the bride standing in the
centre with her wedding finery worn
recently at the Chapel Royal. ST.
James's. The dress copies faithfully
every detail, from the diamond and
pearl embroidered corsage to the
sprigs of white heather in the bouquets
carried by the five princesses at the
ceremony.
Dolls participating in Alpine sports
tango dances. French shepherdesses
and nursery rhyme favorites caught
the eyes of the visitors, and one
crowded street scene, where a smart
bobby held up the motor and passenger
traffic in order TO let the troops pass,
was the piece de resistance.
A Serious Case" included a baby
patient in bed, with a doctor, Sister
and nurse in grave consultation.
Among the contributors were the
Countess OF Jersey. Lady Bland Sutton.
Lady Burgoyne. Lady Dallas, Lady
Dynevor. Lady Harcourt. Lady Leigh,
Lady Clancarty, Lady Selkirk. Lady
Longford and many others.
From now until Christmas Queen
Mary will be almost constantly en-
gagged in work for the poor, tremen-
dous undertaking, which keeps her
majesty and Princess Mary whole days
at time occupied. Both are very
nimble with their fingers, and even
when they have visitors who are init
mate friends they work without stop
ping, keeping the conversation going
all the time They always make pretty
things for Christmas gifts for various
members of the royal family.

Drama in Despicable Plight"

"In the presence OF these facts do you
still affirm that the higher drama is In
satisfactory condition in England? Is
it not really in despcable plight? Am
/ not right in calling such a state Of
things "A national disgrace?
Next. may l beg you to look carefully
through the appendix to this lecture.
which sets forth list of all plays an
nounced for production throughout the
English provinces for the week Septem-
Der 1870. 1913? A few plays with claims
TO thoughtful consideration are included.
II is again to be noted that in most in
stances these plays are the productions of
those who have been connected with the
repertory movement.
But for the list as whole. with its
peryading reek Of cheap sensation and
vulgar nonsense-can any thoughtful Eng
lishman look through II without some
feeling OF shame, or at least without a
grave concern for the future OF the Eng
lish drama? Does not that list grin hid
eously at your rosy farewell speech?
Surely the national drama OF England
should be and should mean something
wholly different from what that list i'm
piles.
IL am not an alarmist | am not a pes
simist | gladly allow that thoughtful
drama and comedy is being written for
the English stage. And | believe 1t will
ultimately prevail with the great public
when they are sufficiently instructed and
when 1t gains vogue and prestige
But for the present this better, more
thoughtful work is disregarded or mis-
understood by the great body OF play
goers. 1t is trampled under foot In a
blind rush for senseless amusement. A
night or two after reading your valedic-
tory outburst OF optimism ] saw packed
theatre rocking with laughter at antics
that were below the level of harmless
nonsense. and scarcely above the level OF
imbecility. II was this that determined
me TO write to you, and ask you to re-
consider your parting words to English
playgoers

vote, but Captain Wilson obtained 80
votes more than his two adversaries COM

The Socialists. made a feature OF the
Marconi controversy, in which Sir Rufus

mention Of Marconi and made opposition
to Home Rule and the insurance act their
rallying cry.
The militant suffragettes supported
Captain Wilson. Just before the polls
closed large squad OF mi!itants arrived.
The Town Hall, where the counting took
place, was strongly guarded by double
force of police, while the polling places
were carefully watched throughout the
day, as an attack on the ballot boxes was
feared.

that if anyone will try to read every
