Houdini on the backlot

Another week, another fantastic unpublished photo of Houdini sells on eBay. This one shows Houdini standing on what is almost certainly a movie studio backlot, possibly the Famous Players-Lasky studio which sat on the corner of Vine Street and Selma Ave. in Hollywood.


As Houdini in Hollywood is my specialty, I badly wanted this one, but was outbid in the end. So a grudging congrats to the buyer of this beauty.

UPDATE (6/9/19): This photo once again cycled through eBay and this time sold for $511.99.
