Alf. Wilson

The act was ten minutes long. Alf. Wilson sings, performs a recitation, and tells ancient jokes in blackface.

Frank Sisters

This blackface “sister act” was thirteen minutes long. The Frank Sisters work like the old minstrel duos. The shorter of the two does comedic talk. “A dirty looking dog was used at the close to put over the old joke about the pup being an entomologist.” They sisters also do some singing.

Lydell and Butterworth

The act was sixteen minutes long. A man dresses as Bert Williams and a woman performs in blackface and a pretty pink dress. They do some comedy talk and the woman does some hard shoe dancing. The man does a soft shoe eccentric dance for the finish.

Ruth Becker

The act was ten minutes long. Becker sings three coon songs with no costume changes. “Her style runs the gamut from the rhapsodical to the pleading, plaintive and naive, winding up with low-comedy ‘mugging'”.
