This was in the Emporia Gazette in July 1937:
Madison, July 18.â€"C.S. Laird of Jetmore has purchased the Madison theater from J.B. Wood. Mr. Wood purchased this theater from J.M. Hobbs about three months ago. Before coming to Madison Mr. Laird was a grain dealer at Jetmore for many years. Mr. Laird is moving his family to Madison, and he will take possession of the theater the first of next week.
From the Feb. 1, 1960 issue of BoxOffice: “Marty Landau was on (Film) Row last week with the word that he’s going to operate his theatre at Madison, Kas., on Saturdays and Sundays, having been coaxed into the step by the Madison merchants who miss the pulling power of a motion picture house.”
