Stanley Guy, a New York actor, looks over shirts for sale outside the famous Apollo Theater in the Harlem neighborhood of upper Manhattan borough, one of five such county-like political jurisdictions in sprawling New York City

The Apollo, which opened in 1914, is a noted venue for African-American performers, and is the home of Showtime at the Apollo, a nationally syndicated television variety show. The previously all-white venue became the Apollo in 1934, when it was opened to black patrons.
