Movie Related Correspondence with Quincy Kilby – July 12 1919

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:

And now we look at letters from 1919 and The Grim Game:

Today, I share July 12 Letter:

Dear Q.K.,

My wrist getting along okay, July 20th, will try and finish the last few scenes, and return to New York leaving on or about July 25th.

The Grim Game will be finished next Sunday, my wrist will be strong enough to do the finishing stunts.

Tom Jefferson is at work in another studio.

Will try and see him before we leave.

Must close bes of all good wishes, from Mrs. Houdini and your pal to you all

Houdini

P.S, …

We will remain here until on or about July 26th.

After that New York Address.

  1. Thanks Joe! Interesting stuff here as always! HH mentions the upcoming auction sale of the Evert Jansen Wendell collection. HH plans to send a knowledgeable buyer to the auction to bid for him since he believes he won’t be back to the East Coast in time for it. He gets back to 278 before Christmas and is blown away from his auction winnings. It’s in Silverman page 244-45.
