GOLDIN, Horace (1873-1939). Typed note signed (?Horace Goldin?) to Joseph Dunninger, May 23, 1923. 1 page on plain white paper, with the typed return address of the Palace Hotel in New York City (8 ? x 11?). Mounted onto plain black paper on the left margin, a bit toned, some soiling, tape residue on right margin, some mild chipping, 1 horizontal and 2 vertical creases. ?Dear Friend Dunningear [sic]: Very man thanks for your kind letter of sympathy. Sincerely yours, Horace Goldin?. With the original mailing envelope from the Palace Hotel (some wear, ink notations). Goldin was a stage magician who was known for his rapid pace tricks; his version of the? sawing a woman in half? trick was one of his most famous illusions (he dispensed with placing the woman in a box ? he had her entire body in full view of the audience, whilst a large buzzsaw ?cut? her in half).
