An August 1948 item in Boxoffice reported that remodeling and reconditioning of the Tivoli had been completed. Over 1200 new seats, new RCA sound heads and additional air conditioning units were installed.

The Tivoli was built in 1928 for Peter Kalleres. This was mentioned in his obituary, published in the January 23, 1943, issue of Boxoffice Magazine.
