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.
