According to the seller, these cards were exclusive to the Kinema, Franklin and the T&D Theaters in Oakland and San Francisco (all owned by the Turner & Dahnken Theatre Circuit based in San Francisco) and were not nationally distributed. The seller believes it to be the only one in existence and called it "unbelievably rare."
This card contains an image of Houdini holding co-star Ann Forrest after the climatic plane crash. It also features a facsimile Houdini signature in white. The back of the card also promotes Charles Ray in The Egg Crate Wallop.
I've never seen that before, very unique piece.
ReplyDeleteIt is. I actually thought it was going to sell for much more.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: The card contains an image of Houdini holding co-star Ann Forrest not Gladys Leslie.
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you, Joe. I did that blind and I knew I should have checked that. I felt wrong typing it. Fixed.
