Houdini

Houdini

This studio photo was taken in 1920. Houdini starred in a movie serial called “Terror Island”. This movie was a silent… it had no sound track. The lines for the actors were written on the screen. Just below the stage and in front was a pit where a person played a piano for background music. The musician had to be quite versatile in different types of music and had to keep with the tempo of the action.  Thank you Jack for the Photo.
