No escape

Here's a fun one that's new to me. I'll let it speak for itself.

Bangor Daily Commercial, Sept. 27, 1921.

By the way, $12,500 is the equivalent of $197,646 today. Maybe the three of them could have worked something out!

    2. I think I read about that in the Houdini biography I got. The fan from Japan was complementing on his handsome nose. Honestly I love his nose too. It’s so cute! ☺️

    3. I read a letter from a fan in South Africa in the HRC. It's great. Part of it reads:

      "When I start thinking of you during lessons at school I can't work I get so excited and funny feelings run through me and the teacher gets so cross. But I can't help it it's your face and your top lip that's to blame, they're so lovely they haunt me."

    4. Oh my gosh yes! I can relate! It happened to me at work. My coworkers saw me blushing and could tell I was daydreaming about him.
