HOUDINI, Harry (Ehrich Weisz). Houdini Milk Can Escape Debut Program. For the week of Jan. 27, 1908, Houdini appears at the Columbia Theater, St. Louis, as the sixth act on the bill presenting ?for the first time anywhere, an astonishing and unique feat, that of getting out of an air-tight galvanized iron can, filled to the brim with water?? Corner clipped on front wrap, else very good. The Milk Can was one of Houdin?s early signature escapes and this program is for his first performance of the feat, which was advertised with the tag line ?failure means a drowning death.?
