50sSNIPES commented about Loews Crofton Cinema 4 on Nov 6, 2025 at 7:07 pm

Yes, but unfortunately I cannot confirm if this was first independently operated since the Crofton Cinema 4’s opening on October 14, 1977 or the theater being a JF theater in the 1980s. However, I can confirm that it was taken over by Loews in the late-1980s, later operated by Sony Theatres, and finally Loews Cineplex.

50sSNIPES commented about Juliar Theatre on Nov 6, 2025 at 11:36 am

The Juliar Theatre opened its doors on February 10, 1939 with John Barrymore in “The Great Man Votes” along with Disney’s Mickey Mouse (and Pluto) in “Society Dog Show”, the musical short “Swing You Swingers”, the Floyd Gibbons short “Treacherous Waters”, and the Vitaphone Pictorial Revue “The Immortal Brush”.

The Juliar Theatre closed on October 18, 1959 after failing to compete against the widely-popular Al Ringling. The theater did attempt to reopen again on February 3, 1960 but this didn’t last long at all, closing around one month later. After closure, the Baraboo Amusement Company took over the building in October 1965 but its future of the building remained undecided.
