The header on this theatre is wrong this MADISON theatre was built about 1969,there was another MADISON theatre on Gallatin Road that is an art store now it would have been built about 1940 as the header inplies,these were two different theatres although very close to each other.
I worked there when it was a Loews house. It had a marquee on the front of the building of course but also had a 2-sided marquee in the front of the shopping center. The theatre was in the back of the center. I do not remember how may seats it had but it was the newest house that Loews had in Nashville at the time, they Also had the Loews Crescent downtown Nashviile, and the Loews Melrose on Frankin Road.
The Madison Square Theatre has been gutted and renovated as the new home of Covenant of the Cross church. http://www.covenantofthecross.com/

Nice folks there but I’d still hoped it could be returned to use as a movie and live theatre venue.
I know several folks who have studied this space for a possible dinner theatre. Apparently, it would take a lot of money to get the place up to codes … new electrical, plumbing and replacement of the sprinkler system.
Here are a couple of photos from spring 2005 of the Madison Square: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maincourse/22960058/
