Rambling observations on books, history, movies, transit, obsolete technology, baseball, and anything else that crosses my mind.

El Gran Houdini -- October 5, 2015
Cine-Mundial, August, 1918
Escapologist Harry Houdini wanted to expand his exposure to the public,
so he began to appear in movies starting in 1918 with the serial The Master Mystery. It was shown around the world.
On Oct 18th the Niles Silent Film Museum has an evening dedicated to Houdini.
