Prior to World War II; there were 90 single-screen movie theaters in Milwaukee. By 1960; that number had been reduced by half. With the arrival of television for the home market; the golden age of the movie theater in Milwaukee was dead. Yet their ghosts continue to haunt the old neighborhoods. Churches; warehouses; stores; nightspots; and other businesses now occupy the former Tivoli; Paris; Roosevelt; and Savoy Buildings. Others are simply vacant hulks; decaying from the inside out. The Elite; Regent; Lincoln; and Warner are but a few of the many silent sentinels from the days when Milwaukee was in love with the movies.
