    The old-time black face song-and-dance man has disappeared from the stage. At one time no minstrel or variety company was complete without a team of these stage favorites; and who can ever forget their reception at every performance? It made no difference whether they represented the genteel or the plantation negro, they were always welcome, and as a rule were the big feature of the bill. [William E. "Judge" Horton, "About Stage Folks," 1902]
    昔日的黑脸歌舞演员已经从舞台上消失了。曾经,没有一个黑人演员或综艺公司是完整的,没有一队这些舞台上的宠儿; 谁能忘记他们在每场演出中的受欢迎程度呢?无论他们扮演的是上流社会的人还是种植园黑奴,他们总是受到欢迎,并且通常是整个演出的重头戏。【威廉·E·“法官”霍顿,“关于舞台人物”,1902年】
  • Black Friday(n.)

    popular name for the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday (which always is a Thursday), in modern times the day which opens the Christmas shopping season and thus for stores often the busiest and biggest sales day of the year, but the exact sense of black (adj.) in it is uncertain.

    It is attested by 1970 (in Philadelphia newspaper columns), said to be perhaps a merchants' term and a reference to the black ink that records profits. But the early articles also credit the expression to those who had the job of managing the crowds.

    At 12th and Market, Traffic Patrolman Stanley Makarewicz took enough time out from conducting his orchestra of exhaust pipes to explain why policemen and cab drivers call it Black Friday.
    "It's supposed to be worst day for traffic out of the whole year," the patrolman observed. 
    ["Black Friday: Stores' Best Day," Philadelphia Inquirer, Nov. 28, 1970]

    Earlier Black Friday had been used principally of Fridays when financial markets crashed (1866, 1869, 1873, 1929), the Kennedy assassination (1963) and other dark events.
