On the Stage In Blackface
Not too long a go I bought an envelope of random photographs. There were three, square formatted photos of stage plays. If they were all dated in the same year I'd say they were related, but they run from the fifties to the seventies. This one, "JUN 58." With all that's going on now a days it's a bit jarring to find a picture of a woman in blackface spanking a white guy, and I have to wonder who wrote this show. Even in the late fifties, while it wouldn't be scandalous, it would be considered in bad taste.
