Happy birthday, Hardeen

Today is the birthday of Houdini's brother and fellow escape artist, Theo. Hardeen. Even though "Dash" (as he was known) adopted February 29th as his birthday and Appleton, Wisconsin as his birthplace, records show he was actually born in Budapest, Hungary on March 4, 1876. So happy birthday, Dash!
