SiliconSam: Looks like Broad Street was renamed University Boulevard (see the first photo on Wikipedia). A quick look at MapQuest and the address 2322 University Boulevard gives us a red star near a suspiciously theatre shaped parking lot in downtown Tuscaloosa.
And Lost, thanks for the “source” link you posted 2/26/2008. That article shows a local man, D.O. Whilldin as the Bama/Druid/Cobb’s architect. He must have been a pretty talented guy.
Any way to get a good map link?
The header should read Cobb I & II with AKA’s of Bama and Druid. Cobb was the last name the theatre was known by.
This was split into two cinemas as Cobb 1 & 2 on May 19th, 1978. Ad is at

Kilgen organ company records show a 3 manual pipe organ installed in the Bama Theatre. It must be this hall since the later Bama would not have had an organ.
A view from 1951 of parade band marching past the Druid Theater in Tuscaloosa. The feature movie at the time was “Flying Leathernecks” starring John Wayne.
