Whereas opera was for the elite, theatre was for the common man. A common man himself, Cyrus built the Jezebel Theatre as a centre for the entertainment of the masses. While always a popular spot, the theatre has seen its share of troubled times, particularly during the Depression. To make ends meet, the owners sold their rooftop space to the GCR Company for one of their radio tower installations. The people of Gotham consider the tower an eyesore and say that Cyrus Pinkney is rolling in his grave, Cyrus might take solace that people are at least still enjoying his theatre over a century after its construction.
