Scene Changes, 1924-1926:
From it's dazzling opening day in 1924 until its closure and abandonment in 1976, the Tivoli mirrored dramatic economic and demographic changes in Columbia Heights over half a century. National trends in the entertainment industry and Supreme Court decisions would directly affect the Tivoli. And the people who designed, built, and patronized the movie palace created their own drama as fascinating as that which played out on the silver screen. |
