According to the Chester Times, the club performed a minstrel show in March 1934 and March 1936, in the Media High School auditorium. This may not be the cast of that particular performance, but judging from the costumes (especially the two men in blackface at either side of the group) this was certainly a minstrel show. The club existed, according to mentions in the newspaper, from the early 1930s until at least 1955.
