The Vaudette Theatre was in another location; just east of the 200 E. Broadway Isabella Bank Building. Seats, curtains and switches were moved to the Broadway when it was built; with a grand opening in December, 1920. Steve Swart

Ghosts? I don’t see any comments about ghosts.

Please tell us about the ghosts. Is this place really haunted?

Nice to see an old theater that has survived the wrecker’s ball or is in sad shape.

This website is filled with “what used to be”

Very sad.

This is a 1961 photo. The marquee of the adjacent Carman Theater is on the right. The building is still being used as a skating rink.

It may be an urban legend that the Broadway was the Vaudette, although it did share some of the same owners. Mr. Carnahan (also known as Tip) was spelled with two “n"s. The Broadway is roughly twice the size of the previous theatre, whatever it was actually called. There was a smaller theatre there which predated the Vaudette. It’s name has so far not been proven definitively, but I’d love to see print evidence of this.

The Broadway was originally known as the Vaudette Theatre and was owned and operated by Charles A. Carnaham and James McCabe. The theatre is now being used to present plays and music.
