Theater where Ella Fitzgerald got her start (6)

I believe the answer is:

apollo

(Other definitions for apollo that I've seen before include "God of light and US space programme" , "London theatre" , "US space flight programme, 1961-72" , "Greek (and Roman) god of light, poetry etc" , "American space programme for landing men on moon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
