The Colonial Theatre Tea Garden

The beauty spot of downtown Richmond was, in 1921, the Tea Garden of the brand-new Colonial Theatre. Herein, we recreate the essence of elegance, joy and hauteur that was once found in Virginia's first real picture palace. Bathtub gin is available at the top of the grand ramps.

A Bulletin Exclusive for Faithful COLONIAL Patrons!
The Management of the Colonial Theatre
--Richmond's Theatre Beautiful--
Thanks You for your many years of friendship and Patronage.
It is for YOU that we have created the most beautiful Theatre in the South, and for YOU that we have secured the most spectacular Pictures, the finest Artists, the most renowned Musicians.
YOU, the people of Richmond, have made our City great in both history and future.
The COLONIAL has been committed, since its opening day, to the greatness of
THE CITY OF RICHMOND
and her people.
SIC ITUR AD ASTRA!
We regret that the destruction of the theatre has resulted in a brief interruption of our normal programme. However, until further notice, the COLONIAL's usual superior productions will be presented through a consortium of the BYRD theatre, the PARKWAY theatre in Baltimore, and salon receptions at the Jackson Apartments.
Hey y'all.... Cinematour has some groovy new pics posted of the Loew's, the National, and the Empire. Sadly, no Colonial interiors. (The management is keeping those for itself.)
