Less known and studied is how records and radio sparked its remarkable revival in the 1920s, leading to prominent exposure on radio, in motion pictures, and later on television and LPs. This presentation will look at how this once-moribund form of entertainment was reenergized and why it in fact thrived until the middle of the twentieth century. It will look at recordings made by major and minor labels during the 1920s, including Victor’s best-selling “Minstrel Show of 1929,” and at Dailey Paskman, the young radio producer who was largely responsible for the revival of interest and who recorded for Columbia a recreation of his popular 1920s radio minstrel show—one of the earliest literal recreations of a radio program on record. We will then briefly look at how this renewed interest led to highly popular network radio shows during the 1930s, to elaborate recreations of minstrel shows in motion pictures, to minstrel shows on television in the late 1940s and early 1950s, along with a wave of minstrel LPs—before this type of entertainment was suddenly banished from media.
