For your records: The ‘unknown’ theatre chain for ‘National’ theatre was the Warner theatre chain,The ‘Uptown’ theatre it was the Fox theatre chain and you missed the Granada theatre. It was just across
the street from the Modjeska theatre,as that house belonged to the Warner chain as well.
ps,I have some shots of the ‘Uptown theatre but how do I submit them

In the summer of 1968 I watched the National theatre “bite the dust”. The old dressing rooms downstairs were full of old sound equipment for the taking, Western Electric, Altec,all laid around like fallen soilders,but armed with a coaster wagon and a weak flashlight I braved the basement only to be caught by a flood of water heading my way,a broken water main sprung a leak and flooded my path!
