Fragile-looking 68 year old Louis Tussaud, great-grandson of the immortal Madame, is planning a great come-back, after years of ill-health and financial worries, states the "Daily Herald."
Recently he applied in the Bankrupted Court for his discharge.
He had failed in 1923—the second time in his career as showman and artist that his business had gone bankrupt. His discharge was suspended for two months.
But to this eager, cheerful little man the future is golden, He learned his art from his greatgrandmother—through his father—and he is planning a great revival for waxwork!
Earlier this year he wrote a book, "The Romance of Madame Tussaud."
It was acclaimed by the critics, and caught the eye of Film Producer Herbert. Wilcox.
