Re: Houdini



Julianne --

Have a look at the holdings from the Rare Book and Special Collections
Division at the Library of Congress -- they have substaintal holdings of
Houdini material in their collections (ie., Houdini Collection and
McManus/Young Collection) including scores of scrapbooks and the like...
I recall seeing material very similiar to what you're looking for there...
I can provide you the name of a person to contact, should you wish...
