There’s a new DVD out, Houdini: The Movie Star, which features the serialized B&W silent “The Master Mystery” (1919, 238m, Color Tinted), a cliff-hanging serial in which a Justice Department Agent must investigate a powerful cartel protected by a robot (referred to as “The Automation”) using a gas weapon.

I can’t recall who this ‘Houdini’ guy is (his achievements escape me), but the DVD is worth it for the robot alone!
