| The Irish might come out today in green jerseys, leprechauns painted on their helmets, shillelaghs on the bench. And deliver it does, sometimes with the delicate touch of a harpist, often with the impact of a shillelagh. The typical whiteface character was recognizable by the stovepipe hat he wore tipped over his forehead, by the shillelagh he carried for fighting, and by his makeup which exaggerated Irish physical characteristics, and, as Carl Wittke tells us, "often consisted of red wigs, red noses, green whiskers, or little beards known as 'gaulways' or 'Galway Sluggers'" (260). |
