• Article meets DYK requirements and I didn't find any close paraphrasing. QPQ still pending. ALT0 and ALT2 are the best hooks (no particular preference here); however a reference needs to be duplicated for ALT0 after the mention of the "across the street" thing. ALT2 may also need additional footnotes for DYK purposes. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 09:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
• One last question: why do the hooks say "Biltmore Theatre" instead of the theater's current name (and the article title) Samuel J. Friedman Theatre? I understand it was the name when the events mentioned in the hooks took place, but still. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 09:47, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

  @ Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the review. I have done a QPQ now and duplicated these refs. For ALT0 and ALT2, the footnotes are now right next to the claims they support. As for why all the hooks use "Biltmore Theatre", it is as you said - that was its name at the time all of these events happened, so it may be anachronistic to use the current name for the condition of the old theater.

• Apologies for the delay in approving this, but everything is now resolved and ALT0 or ALT2 (promoter's choice) are good to go. Narutolovehinata5 ( talk · contributions) 10:56, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
