The Escape Artist: Handsome Houdini: the dignified nose, the shapely lips. His forehead is bold, his hair thinning, white at the temples, wizard-winged over the ears.

He stands before bookshelves in frock coat and clerical collar, a watch on his vest, a pin in his lapel--emblem of one of his many fraternal organizations. He was a great civic booster, in the American way. Link
