This is a July 1988 photo of the National Theater bearing a sign identifying it as the REGAl THEATER.
As recently as 1970 the National was known as the Regal Theatre.
Another photo of the National is here.
I’m a Three Stooges Fan Club member, trying to confirm a personal appearance by the “3” Stooges (Moe Larry and Shemp), on a bill with Wee Bonnie Baker, the Barretts and Don Hooton, after an appearance by the A.B. Marcus Revue. The movie “Queen of Burlesque” was also shown. I have a display ad, but no dates (or town shown). Believe it was the Summer of 1946, and may have been Shemp’s first appearance after Curly’s strokes. The National was advertised as air cooled and showed a phone number of JA-7863.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Frank Reighter
The header should definately has an AKA Regal Theatre. It is listed as the Regal Theatre in the book “The Old Movie Theatres of Texas”.
Unless the theatre has re-opened as the National Theatre the header should read Regal with an AKA National Theatre. Regal was its last name when it closed. Thru its life as a movie theatre it was operated by Dent Theatres, Texas Consolidated, Interstate and finally Mitchell Theatre when it closed in the late-1970’s.
From the early 1900s a postcard image of the National Theatre in Breckenridge.
That appears to be the Alhambra Theater in Breckenridge which has its own page here on CT.
Chris,the National Theatre is right next door to the Alhambra Theatre.
Oops; thanks for pointing that out; I had just previously been looking at the Alhambra page, which has the same postcard view, did not notice the theater’s AKA.
