The Broadway closed in 1987. One of the last films to play there was “La Bamba”, a film whose era was occupied by Eddie Cochran ( born in Albert Lea in 1938 ).

“Goldfinger” definitely played at the Gopher. It was there for several months. To the best of my knowledge, it didn’t play the State at any time unless for a later double-feature rerelease and that is unlikely.

Some of the above info is incorrect. I cannot confirm for the earlier years, but from 1956 and on the Lyric was without question a first-run house. After the roadshow attempts of the late 1950s, the Lyric played first-run films all throughout the 1960s up to the day it closed, with the final show being “Rio Lobo”.
