One Hundred years ago, The Grim Game made its debut at the B.S. Moss Broadway on August 25th, 1919.
To celebrate, I am sharing the front and back of a program from the opening:

Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence
The amazing part about all this is that Harry fractured his wrist in late June filming the movie. In just under two months, the film was completed, and at least one print was made and shipped to N.Y.C. for its debut opening. Those people were working fast.
Was this the first public screening?
Yes, first public screening.
That is fantastic. I’ve never seen this. Do you have an original?
I wish!
