HOUDINIs 1919 Movie: THE GRIM GAME - Magazine Article and Reproduction Poster

Description: The first part of this offering is a GREAT article about the movie. This appeared 46 years ago in the AMERICAN HERITAGE Magazine. April 1972. Volume 13, #3. This magazine comes HardBound, instead of paperbound like most magazines. Contains: "Houdini's High-Flying Hoax" by Art Ronnie. A wonderful article about the airplanes which collided during the filming of Houdini's movie "The Grim Game". A full six photos in this article -plus- great reading on what was almost tragic, but turned out to be the best thing for the movie. Houdini offered a Huge Reward to anyone who could prove this scene, in the movie, was not for real. Since it DID Happen, that was a pretty safe bet and smart of Houdini to capitalize on the publicity, of the almost fatal stunt. ===== The second item included is a reproduction of the Very Rare 1-sheet poster. In the Summer of 1997, a 1-sheet Poster for Houdini’s Movie “The Grim Game” sold at auction. Price (with buyers fees) exceeded $21,000. There were only three of these posters known - with two of these being in Appleton, Wisconsin. The Poster was later sold in the $30,000 range. What’s offered here is a reprint of this very RARE poster. The reprint was made from the Actual Poster, which sold in the Summer 1997 auction. This poster measures 11”x17” and comes housed inside a top-loading hard plastic sleeve. Mounted on the back of the sleeve is a tab, which when pulled out, makes this Poster ready for hanging. Would look great hanging next to all your other Magic Posters. So, there you have it - two great pieces of Houdini movie memorabilia for the price of one.
