[Congress of Magic] Four Candid Photographs of the Congress of Magic Cast. Washington D.C., 1942. Pictured are Cardini and Swan, Ade and True Duval, Jack and Anne Gwynne, Frakson, Fred Keating, and Val Voltaine. Each approx. 7 x 5”, mounted to a single album page on two sides. With Frakson’s inked notations identifying the magicians on two of the images. The Cardinis, Keating, the Gwynnes, Voltaine and the Duvals shared the stage at Washington’s Capitol Theatre for one week in May 1942, when these pictures were taken. Frakson also appears in the photos, but was not on the bill. He was appearing nearby and visited his fellow magicians at the Gwynne apartment, where the candid photos were taken.
