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 November 14th Letter:
My Dear Q.K.,
I am led to believe that I shall have to be in Boston Monday for the opening of the Houdini serial, which takesplace at the St James Theatre, and you understand you need no tickets.
Shall be at the Copley Plaza, and espect to hear phonisch from you.
Rush letter, this is, and this all for the moment.
Regret that I cant remain any longer must return to finish the picture.
Yours as always the same old,
Houdini
Will you please phone through to our Artist friend and tell him he is invited Walter Brackett.

Nice! I love these HH to Kilby letters! I wonder what HH meant by “phonisch.” Interesting that he has to be in Boston to promote the opening of Master Mystery and still filming the later episodes of the serial.
Glad your enjoying these. Got to believe he was expecting a phone call from Q.K at the luxury hotel.
