According to a Facebook account the Madison was the new name given to the former Kindy Theatre. On January 17, 1952 creditors of W.L.Cates purchased the assets of the theatre at a sheriffs sale and the management was placed in the hands of Carl Dunlap until it could be sold.
Mr. Dunlap made some improvements and reopened the theater in March.
In June 1952 it was closed for the summer with a September reopening.
I have uploaded photos of the exterior, advertising and a statement from Mr. Dunlap.
The Facebook posting indicated the Madison was the last theatre in town. Bears some research.
Renamed the Madison Theatre on March 7, 1952.
