The Vaudette Theatre was in another location; just east of the 200 E. Broadway Isabella Bank Building. Seats, curtains and switches were moved to the Broadway when it was built; with a grand opening in December, 1920. Steve Swart
It may be an urban legend that the Broadway was the Vaudette, although it did share some of the same owners. Mr. Carnahan (also known as Tip) was spelled with two “n"s. The Broadway is roughly twice the size of the previous theatre, whatever it was actually called. There was a smaller theatre there which predated the Vaudette. It’s name has so far not been proven definitively, but I’d love to see print evidence of this.
