Carl Nixon and Gussie Sans should link here

Nixon and Sans was a performing duo during the 1920s in the United states of Carl Nixon and Gussie Sans. They performed the sketch "Assorted Chocolate" in blackface.[1] Claude W. Bostock wrote their material.[2] They were billed as "Highly Colored White Folks" for one performance as part of Claude & Gordon Bostock's Vaudevillians[3]

A review described them as doing a "black-and-tan potpourri of patter, singing and stepping" including "low darky gab". Nixon impersonated a female.[4]
