Larry Louree said...

Thanks, I'd recognized the name but like my own family it helps to see which branch of the tree they came from.

I have a complete listing of Nashville,Tennessee, theaters going back to 1807. Maybe you're thinking of another Nashville but we didn't have a Tivoli here.

I'm pretty sure this is in Europe.

Right, Chic, Chattanooga has a Tivoli. We had an Orpheum long long ago.

The Four Ortons and Maide Scott (English comedienne) appeared at the Tivoli Theater in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia as reported in the newspaper, Referee, on November 19, 1924.

Had a email from Chic with photos of two Tivoli Theaters. Apparently the Four Ortons were well established with their world-toured route. A great bit of show biz history.
