SAINT, Edward (Charles Meyers, 1891 ? 1942). Plaster Bust of Edward Saint. Circa 1940. Lifesize bust of Beatrice Houdini's ?business manager" and partner, who lived and worked with her after Houdini's death. Replete with curled mustache and van dyke, his eyes closed. Height approximately 10". In a packing box addressed to Milt Larsen, founder of the Magic Castle, from Bob Lyons. Chipped and worn but intact; a very good likeness. Ed Saint was equal parts showman and impostor, having performed in carnivals under a number of pseudonyms, including ?Dr. Sesrad." The bust may have been a life mask cast while Saint and Mrs. Houdini lived in Los Angeles in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
