Blackstone, Harry (Henry Boughton). A Complaint by Horace Goldin Against Blackstone. New York, 1932—33. Three pages total, comprising the letter sent to Blackstone by Pat Casey of the Vaudeville Managers Protective Association; a copy of Goldin’s complaint stating that “Blackstone in America has also pinched my latest sensational illusion of sawing through a lady with a circular saw”; and a partial copy of Blackstone’s reply to what he calls a “patently silly complaint”, comparing it to an attempt to patent the act of shaving when one has patented a safety razor.
