BUTTERBEANS & SUSIE: “I WANT A HOT DOG FOR MY ROLL”
In the world of black entertainment, there was a group of theaters known as the Chitlin Circuit. Moms Mabley, Pigmeat Markham and other black vaudeville acts worked these theaters because their acts could not play the Orpheum or other white vaudeville circuits. This bawdy act worked the Chitlin Circuit for much of the 1920s. This is from 1925 and is deliciously naughty.
