Julie (Julie Capriotti Mulkey). Two of Julie’s Stage Costumes. Circa 1950s. Pair of black and sequined costumes owned and used by Julie, one cleverly gimmicked for Virgil’s version of the Shooting through a Woman illusion called “The Weird Execution on Mars,” and another made by Hollywood costumier Lloyd Lambert. Accompanied by a vintage photograph of Julie wearing the shooting costume. With one hat and one sequined mask. Condition generally good. The costume for the “shooting” illusion includes a specially constructed feature that allowed Julie to open a trap door in the fabric at her back by merely raising one of her arms, thus allowing safe passage of the ribbon through her body.
