If you’re walking down the Delmar Boulevard, you’re sure to run into the large, golden letters propped up against red that read out ‘TIVOLI’. This brown, ritzy looking building, reminiscent of an old school movie hall, is a three screen movie theater in University City.

The Tivoli Theater opened to the public way back in 1924, got shut down in 1994 and then reopened in 1995. Today it’s as splendid as it was back before it shut down thanks to the dedication of Joe and Linda Edwards. The Tivoli Theater is an art house movie haven, and is affiliated with the Landmark Theaters chain of film distribution, a group that takes immense joy in owning award-winning historic theaters across the country as well as being dedicated to avant-garde films.
