The Great Leon (Leon Levy). The Great Leon Rhinestone Studded Costume. Circa 1920. Deep blue/black knee-length robe bordered in silver ribbon, and studded with rhinestones owned and used in the fast-moving vaudeville illusion act of The Great Leon. With original tags and box from the Jay Marshall collection. Most likely used in Leon?s famous Fire and Water illusion, and similar in design and style to the robe pictured in the famous Haycock-Cadle three-sheet lithograph advertising the effect.
