The Broadway Theatre opened circa 1947 and was demolished in the early 1980s.
Interesting that it closed by 1957? As a ten-year-old, my parents took me to the Broadway to see “North by Northwest.” The release date for “North by Northwest” was July 28, 1959. I also went with friends to several movies at the Broadway well into the sixties. The billboard shows the movie “Arthur” (1981) and “Going in Style” with George Burns (1979). I would say the closing year is off by at least 24 years. However, thanks for the picture, it brings back some good memories.
“Lady Luck” opened the Broadway on January 9th, 1947. Grand opening ad posted.
Closed on December 27th, 1981 and the management moved into the Kiggins theatre the next day.
