The Broadway Cinema was the most comfortable of the local theatres until it's untimely closing.
The chairs would lean back a little given you a little comfort to watch your movie. It showed a lot of blockbusters because of the size and I remember seeing "Raiders of the Lost Ark" there in what would become one of my most memorable movie experiences. No one seemed to know what the movie was about and while the audience watched we all became as One. The audience seemed to all lean or gasp at the same time and no one talked. After the movie was over we gave it a standing ovation.
It was another sad day when it was demolished for the new Gerbes store. I had been coming to that theatre for years and now they were taking it away.

A correction. The building was not demolished but has several businesses located there. My thanks to Mr. Ed for this info.
