The theatre was 17 meters long, 6 meters wide and 4 meters high, and seated 225 people. Robert- Houdin himself never appeared there. He later passed it to his brother-in-law, Hamilton. Ownership passed then from Hamilton to Cleverman (François Lahire), then in 1873 to Robert-Houdin's son Emile. Emile was too busy to perform at the theatre, so he arranged for Pierre Edouard Brunnet to present the show. After his death, Emile's widow sold the theatre to Georges Méliès in
1888. Georges Méliès reopened it in October that year and MT281.350 - ROSE, MIKE developed many stage illusions there. The Théâtre Robert-Houdin LOCATION: Maryland.
