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.

Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence
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.”
See WAH post for more details: https://www.wildabouthoudini.com/2011/09/culliton-papers-miracle-mongers-movie.html
24 lectures. So far I’ve nailed down 17.
17 out 24 is fantastic work! Keep’em coming!
