with Whiteman 1928
Anyone ./Malcolm's Paul Whiteman's December,1928 tour found Bing (Rhythm Boys) at the State Theatre Jersey City, NJ, did they also play the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ.? These sites at this time could also be called "Loews State"...

Re: with Whiteman 1928
They were not touring with Whiteman at that time and they played the State Theater, Jersey City Dec 17-19, 1928 on their own. They did not play B. F. Keith's State Theatre in New Brunswick, Hope this helps.

Re: with Whiteman 1928
Malcolm/ I am aware that these RHYTHM BOYS were sometimes used as a satellite for the Paul Whiteman organization, ] as "Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys, or "Rhythm Boys". After leaving Whiteman, as you know they used "Rhythm Boys or "3 Rhythm Boys"., officially dropping Whiteman I appreciate your checking up on this New Jersey site.
Also / I think Don Clark's 1926 Orchestra had been or was part of Paul Whiteman's organization?

Re: with Whiteman 1928
Another Whiteman era. gig...
Malcolm
I found a 'Variety' dated July 10 ,1929, pg. 51 noting 'the Rhythm Boys at "Campbell's Lake", which is where I assume is in Colorado. Is it possible that these Rhythm Boys, who were also the Montmartre (Los Angeles) around this time, had picked up an extra gig? Or another contemporary group with the same name? / Thank you/
