I've come back to this as I'm starting to do some work on 1922 and this is gold!<br /><br />BTW, I recently found an ad for a Mystic Clayton/Unit #4 performance in Boston in October 1922. Houdini appeared that night as well. So it was Houdini, the movie, then Clayton. Believe it or not, it was billed as "3 Shows in One." :)<br /><br />Another detail. This roadshow version of the The Man From Beyond was one reel longer than the general release version. Seven reels instead of six, which is the only version we have today.<br /><br />Keep on Detecting!John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476836446638612873.post-35175860138704929532018-03-09T13:29:55.139-06:002018-03-09T13:29:55.139-06:00Hey Dean.

The bean counters in the movie studios decided his box office draw was not going to be enough to sustain a film career. As you know from the Silverman bio, Powell had complained that HH was stingy with publicity and left out Powell's name a number of times.Leo Heviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990057178465581105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476836446638612873.post-35807697137199661942015-12-05T14:33:30.982-06:002015-12-05T14:33:30.982-06:00Thank you, sir!Thank you, sir!DAVID SALTMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270760638995836991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476836446638612873.post-18807602071626036672015-12-05T12:39:08.548-06:002015-12-05T12:39:08.548-06:00Thanks for that correction, I fixed it above.
