The Tivoli Theatre first opened in March 1924. Today it is the flagship of Laemmle Theatres. The Royal Theatre continues to be one of the best art houses in all of Los Angeles, often booking exclusive engagements.

On a cheerier note, I saw the French film “My New Partner” at the Royal in 1985. Unfortunately I haven’t been back since, so I can’t comment on the current condition of the theater and amenities.
Here is a photo of the Royal Theater. And this is their website.

The theater was called Tivoli Plaza in this October 1966 item from the Northwest Arkansas Times:
On Nov. 4, the Mary Pickford-Douglas Fairbanks version of the Shakespeare comedy “Taming of the Shrew†will be seen at the Tivoli Plaza Theater in West Los Angeles.
Too bad that I missed that.

One of the last of the single screen theaters in Los Angeles. Small and intimate – a great place to see a film. They do a lot of special programing. Parking though is a real drag; the meters and public lots charge $1 an hour! Ouch! One of my favourite things over the years was to have a meal at the old Dolores' Resturant up the street and then catch a film at the Royal. Sadly, the Dolores is under new owners and they have ruined the place. Bad service, over priced and, worst of all, no toast with their breakfasts! Unexcusable. Stay away from this place.
I too used to eat at Dolores in the 80s and 90s. Earlier this year I revisited and had a tasty soy burger. The waitress was pleasant, but it was late evening and it was very quiet. Still a viable after movie option for old times sake.
