"Your truant son, Ehrich Weiss"


Houdini's birthday is 24 March. She died on 23 March 2011. Houdini died 31 October 1926 and as an aside thanks to Merck, I did too... if I had gone to sleep instead of the hospital.

During her year with Houdini in the mid-1920s, she gained recognition for playing the role of Radio Girl of 1950, emerging from a large mock-up of a radio and performing a dance routine. She also performed other roles during the tour, which proved to be Houdini's last in the United States before he died in October 1926, two months after she had left the show .

Houdini was among the best of the group I now often criticize.
