Very similar to the Santa Rosa, located on Broadway a few blocks north of Milby High School. It was a neighborhood institution until the multicinemas and an aborted highway project did it in.

The Broadway was one of several post-war Houston theaters designed for the Interstate Circuit by H.F. Pettigrew and John A. Worley of the Dallas firm of Pettigrew & Worley. The very similar Santa Rosa was another.
The Broadway opened on May 23, 1947. The premier feature was Walt Disney’s “Song of the South.†The Broadway’s original ad described it as “modern, beautiful, the finest equipment, a perfect showplace dedicated to community service and entertainment.†During the opening weekend, organist Norma Ballard was featured on a Hammond organ in the Broadway’s lobby.
Cinema Art Theatres was the final owner of the Broadway, the theatre closed in 1972.
Anyone know about when this theater was demolished?
