Broadhurst Theatre

Mrs. Minnie Broadhurst had the Broadhurst Theater’s Aug. 31, 1925 launch with “Don Q” and at the $10,000 Geneva Pipe Organ was organist Herma Stanley Quinn formerly of the Quinn Theatre in Chicago. Architect Fred B. Klein was among those in the audience that night. The Broadhurst converted to sound to remain viable. It reached the end of its 30-year leasing period on May 31, 1954 with “Salome” its final feature.
