The Master Mystery (Octagon, 1919). Lobby Card (11" X 14") Chapter 6 -- "The Mad Genius."
This exciting serial, featuring the legendary escape artist and magician Harry Houdini, was released over the span of a year, starting in 1918 and finishing in 1919. In this exciting cliffhanger, Houdini is about to be electrocuted in a very early version of the electric chair. Although the device has first been used in 1888, it wasn't used widely in the USA until the 1920s. This device was perfect to display Houdini's escape abilities. Professionally restored, this lobby card once showed pinholes, a few tears, and chips. There was paper loss in the borders that extended slightly into the interior.  Now after professional restoration it now looks Amazing!   And based on our research the ONLY one in existence.
