I recently went through a Houdini scrapbook compiled by Houdini’s personal friend, Quincy Kilby, and thought I would share items related to his movies in chronological order.

Today, I share a October 27th Letter:

My Dear Q.K.

…

Close at the Hip for ten weeks, must finish my Master Mystery picture.

…

Nothing new, my wrist is better but far from being well.

It will take a few more months before I can hope to bend it as in days of yore.

It seems to be stronger than ever, for the bone has knitted with rings around, so I am better than ever.

….

Houdini

…

The Houdini picture has been sold to New England and you will see it in your own home town.

Houdini’s Everything contract expires November 2nd and he focuses on finishing the rest of his Master Mystery serial.
