    Post 1905 anyway for the trams are electric. I can't add anymore apart from this streetview maps.google.com/maps?q=Great+victoria+Street,+Belfast&...

    Can't help with the Palace, but Mr Chas Majiltons's celebrated company performed Geo R. Sims' famous farcical comedy "the Gay City" (which has achieved an Enormous Success throughout the Country) from Sept 11th - 16th 1882 at the New Theatre Royal. (Private Boxes 40s, 30s, 25s and 20s; Balcony Stalls 4s; Upper Circle 2s; Pit 1s; Gallery 6d.) (Belfast Newsletter.) So 'The Trippers' wasn't his first trip to Belfast

    Michiel2005 I don't believe it! Younger brother of Harry Houdini - that's excellent.

    Robin Parkes Thanks Robin. I've a hunch around 1910, but now we know definitely post-1905.

    Is that Theodore Hardeen the brother of Houdini? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Hardeen Similar face, chin dimple: www.akahoudini.org/htdocs/content.php?aSecID=3&aSubID=74
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Yes, I think that you're right, pennylrichardsca. The man on the top right in this photograph is Houdini's brouther, Hardeen. Any idea what might have brought these chaps together?

    This is from the same photo session as
    Willie Ritchie reading cable of acceptance to Steffen and Thiry (LOC)
    Notes to that picture suggest it is in connection with Willie Ritchie's World Lightweight Boxing Championship bout in London in 1914. That photo appears to be dated 6/14.

    Emil Thiery *note misspelling* was Ritchie's manager at the time. See short bio of Ritchie, born Gerhardt (sometimes reported as Geary) Steffen in San Francisco, at books.google.com/books?id=aA2LO_DGdu4C&pg=PA206&l...

    This newspaper account of June 30, 1914 announces the coming bout in London. "Ritchie, who has his brother, Henry Steffen [*note H'y abbreviation in Bain caption], and Emil Thiery his manager, as constant companions, is training in a northern suburb of London."

    Still a mystery why Hardeen is in the party, but he must have been connected to the event in some way. It seems likely that this photo session was before Ritchie left the U.S. for London, as he is seen accepting the bout.
