Historic theaters revitalized Wis. district debate Times, Rosebud hits federal court Cinemas bought by By Joe Kaiser joseph.kaiser@marquette.edu

Shortly after it was announced that two of the area’s oldest movie theaters were closing after 80 years of operation, the theaters received a second chance, with ownership being reassumed by former owner Jay Hollis. Hollis owned the Times and Rosebud Cinemas, located in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, respectively, from 2005 to 2007. David Glazer bought the properties from Hollis in 2007, when investment properties were booming. Glazer, citing a tough lending environment in which it is difficult to renew or refinance commercial loans, said in a statement he tried to negotiate with his lender, but the bank ultimately decided to take back the theaters. Tim Carter, a spokesperson for AnchorBank, the bank that repossessed the theaters, said the new ownership will keep the theaters open. See Movies, page 7
