MALINI, Max (Max Katz Breit) (1873 ? 1942). Malini Royal Pavilion Music Room Postcard. [Brighton], 1922. Printed card bearing the famous caricature portrait of Malini by Enrico Caruso, advertising the magician?s appearance at the Royal Pavilion Music Room, ?commencing July 31st to August 5th, 1922, each night at 8:30.? Postally unused, but with a young boy?s inked message to his father on the verso. See Learned Pigs & Fireproof Women, p. 93. Though his reputation as an intimate performer was made in barrooms and via innumerable impromptu performances, this card advertises a series of public shows staged by Malini.
