Milltown Theatre

(MINNEAPOLIS STAR-JOURNAL Thurs., April 18, 1946) - THE SHOW WINDOW By Bob Murphy - Movies Every Night for Milltown - WISCONSIN VET TO OPEN NEW THEATER BEACHHEAD - TONY PAULSON, having returned from three years service, this week-end will open up a new beachhead at Milltown, Wis. Paulson, a marine lieutenant on his discharge, is operator of the Amery theater at Amery, Wis. Saturday, however, he will stage the grand opening of his new theater at Milltown. The new house, which seats 350 persons, cost $35,000 and is acclaimed as the model of a small town theater. Milltown had movies just one night previously. Some years ago, an operator moved in, showed pictures one night, then moved out. From now on, it’s every night.

Open: 1946; closed: 1970; seats: 358 The theatre was built by Paulsen Amusements who also built the theatre in Amery. The theatre building is currently [2009] for sale.”
