Pancake Expert and Her Jazz Band Lead Acts at State-Lake -- July 10, 2023

Chicago Tribune, 23-July-1923

I wonder if "Aunt Jemima" was an African-American or an actor/actress in blackface. Quaker Oats hired women to impersonate Aunt Jemima, but I don't know if they had someone at that time.

The strong bill at the Palace this week included Fannie Brice, "World's Greatest Singing Comedienne." Aunt Jemima appeared with "Her Syncopated Bakers." Great name.
