A Demetrio and John Papageorgepulos were in San Francisco from at least 1910 to 1916. They were listed in the 1910 census as being born in Italy. Both were musicians and Demetrio was listed in the 1910 census as a "theater musician" ...probably played the theater organ for silent movies.

I assume Papageorge is a shortened form of Papageorgepulos or a similar Greek name. Does anyone know of California connections ?

I have come across a Gustave & Sultana (Papageorge) Contos who were both Greek. They lived in San Francisco and appear on the 1920 & 1930 census. Gus was a Grocery Store Proprietor, and they resided at 575-25th Ave in SF in 1938 and 1940 (per voting registration records) I believe I saw that they came to the US in 1918. Not sure if they are connected or not.
