Tivoli Theatre (Chicago)

The building had an intricate design complete with gold leaf and multicolored marble decor.

The theater was two stories high with a painted ceiling in the lobby that was meant to resemble the chapel of the palace at Versailles.

The theater held 3,520 patrons around one screen, had air conditioning, and the most up-to-date projection system.

[3] About 1924-1925 Milton Charles was the resident organist who recorded for Marsh Laboratories on the Autograph label using the new electric recording system of Orlando R. Marsh with microphones, compared to the more common acoustic method using horns.

The theater, which stood just south of the southeast corner of 63rd Street and Cottage Grove Avenue, closed in 1963 and was demolished shortly thereafter.
