Below is an advertisement [Dramatic Mirror September 21, 1918] from my personal collection advertising that the Houdini Serial [AKA The Master Mystery] will be released on the open market plan.

The Master Mystery was released on the open market plan in November of 1918.

The first four episodes was first shown at a special trade show on November 7, 1918 at the Strand Theatre in New York City.

And it made its premier, November 18^th, 1918 in the Saint James Theatre in Boston.

To start the 2023 New Year off, thought I would share a special card with a special message from my personal collection:

The front of the card has a spanish ad for the Houdini Serial, The Master Mystery:

Below is a similiar ad in English:

This card was sent from Holyoke MA to Niagara Falls, NY.

It would have been sent out in the early 1990s:

First Class postage in the US was 29 cents from February 3rd 1991 to January 1, 1995. Prior to that it was 25 cents for the first ounce. In 1995 it was increased to 32 cents for the first ounce.
