Rare 1909 ad for the Wonderland Theatre that opened in 1907 and closed about 1910. The Wonderland was a combination moving picture and vaudeville house. Prof Leroy, who claimed to be a student of Houdini and billed himself as Houdini the Second, appeared in the Wonderland in 1910.

All that for a ticket price of 5c.
