Minstrel Days Are Over,
But Black Face Work
Will Go On, Cantor Says

Eddie Cantor, exponent Of the black
face art, advances some information
about the mystery of burnt cork.
while the first backing UP was
done to personate the negro" he said.
gradually another artistic impulse
came and the whole matter of blacking
up was idealized. 1t was realized that
to black up meant practically the elimi
nation Of facial expression. That
meant the developing of a whole
technique Of bodily expression. The
arms, the legs, the torso, the neck,
the whole body were developed in the
art Of creating impression and getting
II over the footlights. The difficulties
Of the stage have always fascinated the
artist and so whom 1t became general
" understood that it was very difficult
TO ret over in black face many
comedians went in for the liberal use
Of burned cork,
"Now, the impression OF the negro
retained by the black face exponents
is highly idealized one. Practically
tho only reminder Of the negro is in
the use of such songs as nanny
songs and purely incidental things
which had their origin with the Ameri-
can negro.
"The difficulties which the average
black face comedian labors under in
getting his impressions across to the
audiences were we'll illustrated for me
during the several years that played
with Bert Williams. Williams was q
great comedian and great actor, and
in his black face. work he had great
advantage over the rest of us in that
his natural color was the color we
simulated. He had expression in his
face and lines when he wished to have
them, Thus, he was one of the best
black facc comedians in the world.
"As to the future of blacl. face work
believe that the days of the negro
, minstrel are over, but that black face
. work will persist because of it's techni-
cal interest for the artist and also
because it is possible TO get over
things in a grotesque way, which is
peculiar to black face
