About This Item
, 1930; circa 1930 original silver gelatin 8" x 10" studio portrait photograph of Doreen Palmer, wife and stage partner of Jay Palmer in the magic team "Jay Palmer And Doreen." Jay Palmer began his show business career in 1921 as an assistant to vaudeville magician The Great Leon (Leon Harry Levy, 1876-1951), and in later years to Harry Houdini. After marrying Doreen, the couple put together their own act in which Jay performed most of the magic and Doreen provided comedic counterpoint by condescendingly criticizing her husband’s technique. They were much known for their original illusion "The Magic Kettle," in which a small pitcher poured out a seemingly inexhaustible supply of water. Doreen and her husband enjoyed a long popularity, continuing their act on both stage and television into the 1960’s. From the Great Leon estate. Fine condition.
