Wagenhals and Kemper, producers and managers. Lincoln A. Wagenhals (1869–1931) and Collin Kemper (1870–1955), two Ohio men who both had worked briefly as actors, went into partnership in 1893 when they acquired a theatre in Binghamton, New York. Within a few seasons they were managing such notables as Arthur Byron, Helena Modjeska, Henry Miller, Annie Russell, and Frederick Warde. In 1906 they became the first lessees of the new Astor Theatre. Among their successful productions in this period were Clothes (1906), Paid in Full (1908), Seven Days (1909), and The Greyhound (1912). After a temporary separation, Wagenhals and Kemper had success with Seeing Things (1920), Spanish Love (1920), The Bat (1920), and Why Men Leave Home (1922). They retired permanently in the mid‐1920s.
