FULL-PAGE HOUDINI ADVERTISEMENT -and- THEATRE PROGRAM for the 1917-1918 New York Hippodrome Theatre.
The adv. shows a packing case, roped and being lowered over the side of a ship, with an oval insert photo of Houdini.
The adv. reads:
"The World's Most Famous Dare-Devil HOUDINI In The Submersible Iron-Bound Box Mystery. Note - it is generally conceded that it is a physical impossibility for any Human being to escape from a submerged submarine. Houdini submits this marvelous experiment as suggesting a possible solution."
At the lower left corner of this adv. is: "© HOUDINI 1917."
The program shows all the acts performing in "Charles Dillingham presents "CHEER UP" A Musical Revue in 3 Cheers".
Houdini appears on the show TWICE!!
The programs reads:
(First appearance) EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT OF THE WORLD-FAMOUS HOUDINI. Who Offers His Latest Creation, "The Vanishing Elephant". The Most Colossal Disappearing Mystery that History Records. Dissolving into thin air, on the largest stage in the world, an elephant weighing 10,000 pounds. Before one's very eyes, in a full blaze of light, with bewildering rapidity, this pachyderm monster suddenly eludes the vision.
(Second appearance) EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT OF THE WORLD-FAMOUS HOUDINI. Introducing at every performance his original, uncanny and perilous feat of extrication. The Submersible Iron-Bound Box Mystery. Manacled and roped, Houdini will be nailed into an iron-bound box burdened with 300 pounds of weights, and the box lowered into a tank containing 500,000 gallons of water. The box, being perforated, will fill with water within twenty seconds. To escape drowning, Houdini must therefore release himself while submerged. A committee of investigation is invited on stage at every performance.
This was Houdini's Longest Run at any one theatre. 19 weeks, from Jan. 7th to May 18th, 1918.
These two items have been professionally Matted and Framed. The frame being of Cherry Wood with a gold inner trim next to the glass. The Houdini advertisement measures 8"x10½" and the program/bill 17"x10 1/4". The overall measurement is 34½"x16 ½".
