So all you people going to Grace to gather and try and pick up on Houdini spirit. You're at the wrong HOSPITAL!

I'm the seller of the photo. Quite a few years ago...20 or so..it had a very very old frame it was in that was professionally sealed shut with rusty wire hanging wire. The glass broke so I carefully took it out of the frame to uncover all that writing on the back...very interesting writing....ralph holmes and other stuff written on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-37097531831011283312011-11-13T11:13:50.171-08:002011-11-13T11:13:50.171-08:00I think we've done this seller a favor.

It's not as if he never went to doctors or missed engagements earlier in his life.

You'd think Houdini would have gone to the hospital instead of performing if he knew how urgent it was. He certainly would have gone after the show. Of course Dretzka would tell the papers later John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-78596710053770618382011-11-11T12:06:56.849-08:002011-11-11T12:06:56.849-08:00Good find - interesting too if anyone could confir...Good find - interesting too if anyone could confirm for sure that that is him.melbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032793912135092967noreply@blogger.com
