Virgil (Virgil Harris Mulkey). Stage Worn Clown Costume with Belly Drawer from Virgil’s Magic Circus. Circa 1950. White cotton clown suit with ruffled collar, red and green diamond felt appliqué, red acrylic pom-poms and red ribbon trim on hems. Cleverly designed belly strap with drawer mechanism worn underneath and incorporated into center of garment allows the wearer to store candy or other items, making for a comical sight gag when the compartment is opened. Includes five vintage photographs of the suit being worn on stage for Virgil’s Magic Circus. Minor soiling and small holes throughout; wear evident from use, otherwise in good condition.
