In this blog, we've previosuly discussed Lovecraft and CM Eddy going to see Houdini at the Hipodrome. http://chrisperridas.blogspot.com/2007/01/lovecraft-in-midst-of-controversy.html
Above you'll see a vintage ad for that performance. It clearly discusses that part of the show was exposing fakery by spiritualists and mediums. He'd just had a major, national, and hugely public battle with "Margery". Lovecraft had to know Houdini's whole fiber and being screamed out to do battle with these elements.
