LINK: The Marvelous Adventures of Houdini (1917)

Our good friend Joe Notaro at Harry Houdini Circumstantial Evidence kicks off a new series today in which he'll look at the 12 known film treatments written by Houdini. Some became movies (The Man From Beyond) and some did not (Yar, the Primeval Man).

Joe starts with Houdini's first treatment, The Marvelous Adventures of Houdini, The Justly Celebrated Elusive American. This almost became Houdini's first feature film in 1917...but I'll leave it to Joe to tell the tale.
