This theater appears in the movie Falling Down, starring Michael Douglas, filmed in 1992. His character is the target of a drive-by shooting while standing at a pay phone on the sidewalk in front of the former theater.

I saw the movies Freejack & Hook here one night in January 1992, while waiting for an intercity bus. I remember the theater and the block were pretty well run down, and there were very few other patrons. I remember dirty red carpet, a rather cramped and dingy second floor lobby, and two rather unmemorable movies.

My most notable memory of the evening came at the end of the night. It was later than I thought when the show ended, and I had to run as hard as I could down the street to catch my bus as it headed out of town (plan B was a night on the sidewalk). Oops!

The address of the Tivoli was 6325 S. Cottage Grove Ave., not 6328 as currently listed for this entry. 6328 would be on the west side of the street; the Tivoli was on the east side of the street. Photo added (page from 1928 street guide).
