Everybody was doing it

It's darn near impossible to find someone in the 1930's who did not at some point do an act in blackface.

It seems like everybody did it.

It would probably be easier to make a list of performers during that time who didn't ever do a blackface act than one who did.

I have no idea who these people below are.  But whoever they are, they look like monkeys.
