Speaking of Dell O'Dell, do you have any video footage of HER performing magic? I remember reading a while back that she had her own weekly TV show back in the 50's. It only lasted four episodes, though.
Beautiful, despite the quality of the film. He was one of the great masters, and here you can see things that have been inspiration for present masters (for example dante's performance of Backstage With the Magician, and how Lance Burton presented it).

Good choice of background music. Boy wouldn't it be great if one day they restored these old films?

Well said. Remember Dante was at one point considered the best in the entire world!
