The Vaudeville News February 29 1924

HHCE Collection

Thought I would share a short Houdini article from my February 29, 1924 copy of The Vaudeville News Trade Journal that I found very interesting and packed with info for 1924.

  1. Great stuff Joe! I wonder if that trade journal has more HH articles in other issues. He mentioned moving pictures in his announcement. I wonder what he meant by that since his film days were over by 1924. The visit to the Crandons in Boston was just five months away from this announcement.

    • Thanks Leo. Arthur Moses, 2015 Houdini Periodical Bibliography references 2 issues: Aug 20, 1920 and Dec 23,1921The Magician’s Christmas Eve (by Houdini). And I came across this issue, so got to believe there could be others.
      WRT Moving Pictures: In 1923, Houdini told the LA Times:
      “I have signed to deliver twenty-four lectures on ‘The Negative Side of Spiritualism’ after closing my Orpheum tour. I am also planning to make a picture from my book, Miracle Mongers, which will be an out-and-out stunt picture.”
