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.
Previously we looked at letters from 1918 and the Master Mystery:
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – June 14 1918
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – July 14 1918
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – October 7th 1918
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – October 27 1918
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – November 7 1918
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – November 14 1918
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – December 15 1918
And now we look at letters from 1919 and The Grim Game:
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – March 7 1919
- Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – April 12 1919 and April 24 1919
- TBS
Today, I share a April 12th Letter:

And a handwritten April 24 letter:

Yours as always

A lot of nice history packed in that letter!
You’re not kidding! I wonder where that Mama letter is now. Another thanks to Joe for continuing to post these incredible Kilby letters. We are indebted to Quincy for preserving them.
