The Apollo Hall was founded in the mid 1800's by formal Civil War General Edward Ferrero as a dance hall and ballroom. Upon the expiration of his lease in 1872, the buliding was converted to a theatre, which closed shortly before the turn of the century. However the name "Apollo Theatre" lived on. In 1913 and 1914 a new building designed by the architect George Keister and who also patterned the First Baptist Church in the city of New York. That's what theatre I would go to, and see Ethel Waters perform and sit next to Paul Robeson. And just have a good conversation with him. Paul Leroy Bustill Roberson was born on April 9th in 1898.
