- History / Biographical
- Irving Silverman was born Isadore Silverman to Aaron (Harry) Silverman (d. 1969) and Mary (Adelstein/Edelstein) Silverman (d. ca 1934) in Montreal on December 5, 1912. Both of his parents were originally from Bessarabia and emigrated to Boston, Massachusets prior to 1907. Although Mary and Harry knew each other before their immigration, they married once they arrived in the United States. The couple moved to Montreal shortly after in order to find work. In addition to Irving, the Silverman family also had two daughters, Esther and Rae, and two additional sons, Ben and Sam. The family lived near St. Lawrence Blvd. and Rachel Street and Harry Silverman worked as a house painter. He also painted with oils as a hobby. Irving Silverman left school after grade eight to work. During the summers he worked in entertainment in the Laurentians. He extended this work in doing make-up for the Yiddish theatre and YMHA productions in Montreal, a skill taught to him by his father who was also involved in theatre. In the 1930s, Irving joined the Montreal police force, working first in vice until he was injured slightly during an incident. Irving was giving chase to a suspect when he was shot at, the bullet ricocheting off of a building causing the brick pieces to hit his cheek. After this he continued to work for the police force but in different departments. In 1939, Irving joined the RCAF becoming a Flight Sergeant and then a Service Policeman (MP). He was stationed in various locations across Canada including Brandon, MB, Edmonton, AB, Pearce, AB and Halifax, NS. His time in Alberta was spent at the POW camp for German soldiers. Irving was discharged from the army on August 10, 1945. Irving met his wife Margaret Gilmour Hulburd, who was born in Bedford, Quebec on February 15, 1911, while he was stationed in Edmonton. At the time Margaret was working for the US Army in a clerical position. The couple met at a USO club where Irving frequently had to arrest unruly soldiers as part of his MP duties. This type of work was apparently no problem for Irving as he stood 6'1", weighed 220 pounds and his abilities earned him the nickname "Hi Ho Silver". Irving and Margaret continued to court after Irving was transferred to Calgary and then long-distance when Margaret moved to Washington, DC in 1942. She returned to Calgary briefly to marry Irving on June 17, 1943. After the war, the couple moved to Montreal and lived there until 1948 when they returned to Edmonton. They lived there for the remainder of their lives; Margaret passed away on November 20, 1977 and Irving passed away on August 12, 1987.

- "Blackface" minstrel production The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American form of racist entertainment developed in the early 19th century. Each show consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performances that depicted people specifically of African descent. The shows were performed by mostly white people in make-up or blackface for the purpose of playing the role of black people” and lampooning them.

- “The minstrel show, or minstrelsy, was an American form of racist entertainment developed in the early 19th century. Each show consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music performances that depicted people specifically of African descent. The shows were performed by mostly white people in make-up or blackface for the purpose of playing the role of black people” and lampooning them.
