The National Theatre was located on Magazine Street between Eleonore Street and State Street. It was in operation prior to 1941 and beyond 1950. The theatre has long been closed and demolished.
Any further information on the National Theatre would be appreciated.

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
Opened in 1925 and closed in 1964. When I submitted this theatre I said it was demolished, but further research, the theatre building is still standing and being used for other purposes. The National was also known as the Plaza Theatre. Operated by Saenger Amusement Co. and later United Theatres.
