Bob Hope,George Burns, Lucille Ball and Groucho Marx & the Marx Brothers all performed here in Vaudeville.Groucho performed his first show with painted mustache here (his stage clothes & make-up arrived late, so he improvised and it became his trademark). Murray The K also held his show here occasionally in the 60s with CREAM performing here (with a young Eric Clapton)in late ‘66.

My ballet school used to have their recitals at the Keith during the 60’s. I always remember having photo’s taken by the beautiful fountain in the lobby. Too bad it couldn’t be restored as a landmark.

The RKO Keith’s was my childhood theatre and an adventure to attend. It was a grand place on a Sat afternoon for us to enjoy a show and movie. My most memorable movie was “A Night to Remember.”
