About this audio guide
This guide to Koninklijk Theater Tuschinski in Amsterdam follows Abraham Tuschinski, a Polish tailor who landed in Rotterdam in 1904 meaning to sail on to America, and instead built a chain of cinemas that ended with this Art Deco showpiece. He drove his architects so hard the first one quit, and personally traveled to Brussels to rescue the theater organ before the doors opened in October 1921.
