Third Annual Kodak Minstrel Show - "Minstrel Maids"

2005.001.06.03.744
Item
April 18 - 19, 1922

Part of Kodak Canada Corporate Archives and Heritage Collection

The photograph depicts a female group of 9 women with blackface in costumes of matching striped hats and dresses. The Minstrel Show of which this troupe was one act, held three performances at the Crystal Theatre in April 1922.

The performers were part of a Kodak Minstrel Show, performed by Canadian Kodak employees and held by the Kodak Athletics Association (KAA) during the 1920's.

Minstrel shows are a style of variety show, most popular during the late 19th and early 20th century, in which white performers use make-up and costumes to depict racist and stereotypical caricatures of Black people. The genre originated in the United States, but Canada had its own troupes and touring companies, and the format was popular with schools, community groups, and religious organizations.
