Description
Photo of two cast members of an Old Town Minstrel Show in blackface. The back of the photo says :Old town Grange Minstrel". Possibly the occasion was the performance of the Grange-sponsored “Return of the Shawnee Minstrels” show on May 18 & 19 of 1950 that was directed by Harris Dunn. Note that Dunn also directed the original “Swanee Minstrels” show of 1926.
