You might want to look at Buster Keaton's _The Playhouse_ there is one scene where Keaton plays nine members (in blackface) of a minstrel show. There is a pan from the stage to the audience and all the members of the audience are also Keaton. Because of Keaton's childhood in vaudeville one can assume that the minstrel show performance is realistic of such shows during the early part of this century.
