The blog Southeast Idaho Yesterday has a nice post about Houdini's appearance at Pocatello’s Auditorium Theater on October 23, 1924. Houdini gave his spiritualism exposé lecture, and the site has uncovered two interesting newspaper adverts for the talk. One says "Houdini and Company" which is billing I've never seen before. It's also interesting how crosses adorn each ad.
As with the recent post at Orhistoy about Houdini's appearance in Portland, I love how these local blogs are uncovering and sharing their Houdini history.
