It should be of interest to just about everyone on the forum if they took the time to check it out. We always here about the Apollo, the Uptown and the Howard theaters as being a part of the "Chitlin' Circuit", but so was Leo's Casino! Everyone who was some one back in the day played there. Reminds me of Idlewild in Michigan, it often gets over looked in the history of black music.
