are his nervous hands, which seem full

MOTION PICTURE WORLD
By Harriette Underhill

All men are fascinating until you I'M
derstand them, and that usually is so
simple.
But there is one man whom we never
could understand and for that reason
lie continues to be fascinating He can
get out of any predicament. You can
rot drown him, nor smother him, nor
tie him up. We believe that he would
even be able to break through a movie
contract if he wished. HIS name is
Houdini, Christian name unknown.
Houdini always has fascinated US be-
cause he baffled us,but that is nothing,
for he has baffed every one. No one
in the world knows how he does what
he does, for he never has told Oh,
that he had been born a woman; then
he would surely have told
Houdini is at the Hippodrome now.
VI course, he has been there for long
time, but we had stopped going to see
him because it was so ANNOYING to
watch a performance which one never
could hope to emulate
Well, one day last week we went
over to the big playhouse to see him
and the thought suddenly came to US
perhaps if we should meet him face
to face he might reveal to us the art
OF swallowing one dozen needles. a
spool of thread and bringing out of
your mouth the needles all threaded.
This was a trick worth learning. If
was so practical. SO we sent back and
asked for an interview, and presently
the great Houdini joined US where we
sat in solitary state in the box.
Houdini was very nice and he
watched the show just as though he
were an ordinary person who couldn't
thread needles in his asophagus. And
during the jntermisson we talked
Taking it for granted that he was
there for the purpose of revealing his
life secrets, we said: ooh. Mr. Houdini.
tell us, please, how you get out of
packing box which has been nailed up
and tied up and thrown into the East
River!"
And he said: "Certainly. 1t is so
simple. You just disintegrate."
Fancy, now! Why, any one can do
1T if he can only disintegrate. But we
persisted, for our duty lay clear be-
fore us. Oh, to be able to reveal to
the world, or that portion of it that

you on this one first. Now, all ready {?
Do this" And right before our horri-
/ fed gaze Houdini pulled his left thumb
off and held it in his right hand. We
screamed and hid our eyes, and when
we looked again his left thumb was
back where it belonged.
Now, We actually. saw this with our
own eyes, sitting not a foot away. So
