Interlocutor (music)

Interlocutor (music)

An interlocutor is the master of ceremonies of a minstrel show. A blackface character, like the other performers, the interlocutor nonetheless had a somewhat aristocratic demeanor, a "codfish aristocrat". [Lott, Eric. "Love and Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class", Oxford University Press, 1993, ISBN 0-19-509641-X. p. 153]
