[Houdini, Harry (Ehrich Weisz)] Letter from Edward Saint to Will Goldston Regarding ?Madame Houdini Speaks.? Hollywood, Calif.: Oct. 17, 1937. Two pages, on scarce ?Madame Houdini Speaks? letterhead (first page) and Saint?s personal letterhead (second), signed ?Edw. Saint,? concerning the never-produced motion picture ?Madame Houdini Speaks,? described by Saint as starring Bess Houdini and to be based on her life and career (?The spooky and mystic laden film will use ghostly dynamite to blast superstition.?). Saint also relates his intention to write a book based on the Houdinis? lives, and privately shares that B.M.L. Ernst is ?a very, very sick man.? With a reproduction photo of Saint.
