Summary

Description
English: Title: Krazy Kat, 7/15/21
  • Description: 23-year-old artist Cleon "The Throck" Throckmorton (1897–1965) (middle), 18-year-old Chicago-born stage performer and fencing champion Kathryn Marie "Kat" Mullin (1902–1994) (left), and an unidentified friend enjoy refreshments in the external treehouse of Throckmorton's speakeasy, The Krazy Kat, on July 15, 1921. This Prohibition-era speakeasy operated in Washington, D.C. during the raucous Jazz Age of American history. On the side of the wooden table is carved the name "Mickie Mullin," the name of Kathryn's father. A model, singer, sketch artist and costume designer, Kathryn Mullin was known for her radio and stage performances as a ukulele player with Harry Crandall's Saturday Nighters. For her stage performances, she was billed as "The Girl With the Million Dollar Legs." When not performing on stage or radio, she was an expert in women's saber fencing and gave public exhibitions. Six months after this photograph, Cleon Throckmorton and Kathryn Mullin married in January 1922 in Manhattan, New York. They divorced in December 1926.
