That photo of a young Cecilia is amazing. I now understand why HH entered the partnership in the American Gaiety Girls with confidence.
ReplyDeleteSupposedly when two of the singers were too drunk to go on, Harry Houdini and his cousin, Harry Newman, filled their slot. It was perhaps his first and last attempt at singing on stage. HH was roundly booed by the audience for his less than tuneful effort.
ReplyDeleteHey Joe M. Notaro. You plagiarized that passage from page 39 of The Metamorphosis. Give credit where it's due please.
DeleteHah! That's a great anecdote Joe! I don't remember reading that in any of the bios.
ReplyDeleteIt was in the MacNAB, the Metamorphosis. Sorry, I should have pointed that out.
DeleteOne of the many things that great about Bruce's book is it provides fresh info on the Gaiety Girls.
