GOLDIN, Horace (1873-1939). Typed note signed (“Horace Goldin”) to Joseph Dunninger, May 23, 1923. 1 page on plain white paper, with the typed return address of the Palace Hotel in New York City (8 ½ x 11”). Mounted onto plain black paper on the left margin, a bit toned, some soiling, tape residue on right margin, some mild chipping, 1 horizontal and 2 vertical creases. “Dear Friend Dunningear [sic]: Very man thanks for your kind letter of sympathy. Sincerely yours, Horace Goldin”. With the original mailing envelope from the Palace Hotel (some wear, ink notations). Goldin was a stage magician who was known for his rapid pace tricks; his version of the” sawing a woman in half” trick was one of his most famous illusions (he dispensed with placing the woman in a box – he had her entire body in full view of the audience, whilst a large buzzsaw “cut” her in half).
