The Indiana Theater showed German films for a short time before closing. An Evansville (IN) businessman purchased it and remodelled it and renamed it “Theater A.” After it stopped showing 2nd run films, it became a porno theater until clsoing. An upscale restaurant “Catablu” opened there for a number of years before re-locatiing. Now it is called the “Philmore on Broadway” and is a live entertainment venue.
Chuck, If you got the year 1955 from my website at movie-theatre.org, It means it it closed around 1955 since it was listed in 1955 and not 1961.
Originally opened on November 5, 1923, the Broadway Theater was one of five “neighborhood” theaters in Fort Wayne, and the only one located on Broadway—a major commercial strip at the time. The theater changed its name to the Indiana Theater and later in the 1960s because “Theater A”. When that closed, it became a porno theater names “Cinema Blue.”
