I was rummaging through a scrapbook I found the other day and look what showed up. A program for Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra playing at the New Majestic Theater in Peoria, Illinois in 1925. You've all heard the old vaudeville phrase "If it plays in Peoria it will play anywhere", so obviously Paul Whiteman could play anywhere. Just thought I'd share this little bit of ephemera with you guys.
