Thurston Slaps Child

Postby Kevin Connolly » April 20th, 2009, 1:13 pm

I caught this one on Ebay the other day. In the description of the item, it tells of Thurston slapping Clare Cummings in the face when he was a child. I hope it wasn't the hand he used to urinate on. :o

Thanks, Kevin, for the tip. I knew Clare Cummings well for many years, but I'd never heard him tell of the Thurston slapping incident and was interested in reading it. Clare was a great guy and he's missed in this corner.

Most Illustrious,

I can't believe I slipped one by you. That takes some doing. ;) I only caught it because Houdini was mentioned in the ad.

Now if I could only find that Houdin bookplate.
