In the newspaper ad for the theater where HH is headlining, "A few minutes with Jack Benny" is 3rd in billing.
ReplyDeleteYes, you'll see Jack Benny on the same bill for many of Houdini's 1923 engagements. If only someone would have interviewed Benny about Houdini, I bet he would have had many memories.
DeleteWow fantastic Photos, first where can we see the film?
ReplyDeleteWould love have copies of the pics, that platform is more dangerous than what HH is doing, no rails , ropes holding the supports, crazy.
Can I see the said film? I need to add it to my collection. 🥺❤️ - Abby Martin
