The Owl was being operated by Nathan Joseph in 1956, according to an article about him in Boxoffice of March 17 that year. Joseph also operated the States Theatre at that time.

A street-level photo of the Owl can be seen in Sandor Demlinger’s book Chicago Jazz.

During the late 40s/early 50s, the Owl was part of the Illinois and Indiana Theatres chain.
