A May 1969 death article confirms that the Starview was built and first owned by Alexander Huntley. It said that the drive-in was built in 1948, but I cannot confirm its opening date at this time.
The Kichijoji Odeon actually opened its doors on July 3, 1954 with William Holden in “The Moon Is Blue”. It originally housed 560 seats and features CinemaScope installations. The Odeon was originally managed by Toa Kogyo and owned by Takahashi Yasutomo.
I cannot find as much details about this one, rather than the Aoikan Theater opened around 1915 and closed around 1935. It was located on 30 Tameike, Akasaka Ward, Tokyo. After the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1923, it was damaged by both the quake and a fire, and was both redesigned and reopened in 1924.
However, I can confirm that the theater building was a shack building designed by Yoshikawa Seisaku, who also designed the Kanda Nikkatsu Theater, and the stage curtain featured a distinctive relief created by the MAVO group led by Murayama Tomoyoshi. It screened foreign films including American movies.
Loews actually closed the Carousel on August 31, 1990, not July. There is also a strange appearance on its showtimes the following day on the Cincinnati Enquirer that reads “COPY D TO COME?”
Closed as a first-run theater on November 5, 1992 with “Public Eye” in Screen 1 and “School Ties” in Screen 2. It was once operated by Mid-States, later USA Cinemas, and finally Loews.
Once operated by USA Cinemas, later Loews, and later National Amusements before Georgia’s Cinema Grill Systems Circuit takeover in 1997. It was closed as a movie theater on August 12, 2001, and at the time it was briefly known as Covedale Cinema Grill.

Actually, the Temple Theatre did NOT close in August 1961. It continued operating until it September 1965 closure as a movie theater.

Most likely closed in October 1980.
