Jazz Age fencing champion Kathryn "Kat" Mullin poses for artists Cleon Throckmorton and Inez Hogan on the external premises of The Krazy Kat speakeasy in Washington, D.C.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Title: Krazy Kat
  • Description: 23-year-old artist Cleon "The Throck" Throckmorton (1897–1965) (left) paints barefooted 18-year-old model and fellow artist Kathryn Marie "Kat" Mullin (1902–1994) (middle) on the external premises of Throckmorton's illegal speakeasy, The Krazy Kat, in Washington, D.C.'s bohemian Latin Quarter circa 1921. Sitting on a nearby table and balancing a color palette in her lap, 26-year-old illustrator Inez Hogan (1895–1973) (right) wears a painter's smock and cleans a paint brush. During the Jazz Age, Throckmorton, Mullin, and Hogan were affiliated with an avante-garde circle of libertine bohemian artists known as the Provincetown Players.

    In this photograph, a fencing saber in its scabbard hangs from Kathryn Mullin's waist. At this time, Mullin was a renowned national champion in women's saber fencing and gave public exhibitions in New York City attended by hundreds of spectators. Mullin was also known for her virtuoso 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."

    Six months after this photograph in January 1922, Cleon Throckmorton and Kathryn Mullin married in Manhattan, New York. In December 1926, after four years of marriage, Mullin sued Throckmorton for divorce upon catching him in a sexual encounter with an unidentified woman—possibly film actress Juliet Brenon (1895–1979)—in their Greenwich Village apartment. Mullin's friend, African-American stage actress Blanche Dunn, served as a supporting witness on her behalf in the divorce suit. Throckmorton did not contest the divorce, and Mullin did not seek alimony. Immediately after the divorce, Throckmorton married Juliet Brenon in March 1927.
