Houdini and Eva Tanguay in Rochester

Here's a terrific ad for the Cook Opera House in Rochester, New York, showing Houdini and Eva Tanguay on the same bill. (If you don't know who Tanguay was, check out this post.) This is the week Houdini did his famous jump from the Weighlock Bridge. It's wild to know that Eva was on the same bill. Did she see the jump?
