Tivoli Music-Hall, London, in the Strand. Erected on the site of a beer-hall, whose name it took, this three-tier building holding 1,500 opened in 1890 as a theatre, but had no success until in 1893 it was taken over by Charles Morton who made the ‘Tiv’ one of London's most popular music-halls. Its shows lasted for anything up to four hours, and the bill often included as many as 25 turns, featuring all the great names of the music-hall. In the years immediately before the First World War its popularity began to decline and it closed in 1914, being demolished and replaced by a cinema in 1923.
