Koo Koo, Zip & Schlitzie At Coney

MUTOSCOPE CARD. This deservedly iconic and legendary image of three of the great sideshow freak performers of the 1920s features Koo Koi, Zip and Schlitze. "KOO KOO THE BIRD GIRL DANCES WHILE ZIP PLAYS VIOLIN AND SHILITZI[sic] PLAYS PIANO AT CONEY ISLAND, N.Y. EX. SUP. CO. CHGO." From the scarce series of 64 cards from the Exhibit Supply Company. .......Despite the Coney Island designation printed on the card, an original wire service photo taken at Kodet's Harlem Museum by the Keystone Company of New York, has emerged.
