The National Theatre (1911-1978) of Boston, Massachusetts, was a 3,500-seat multipurpose auditorium on Tremont Street in the South End. It functioned as a cinema, lecture hall, and stage. Performers included Jehovah's Witness founder Joseph F. Rutherford and "big-name entertainers like Duke Ellington and Ray Bolger." Movie screenings included ''The Battle of Gettysburg'' in 1913. The English High School held graduation exercises in the National. Around 1919 it was known as the "Waldorf Theater." The space operated "intermittently after World War II for plays and movies." Among the audience members: clothing designer Joseph Abboud. The National closed in 1978. The Boston Center for the Arts oversaw the property thereafter, when it was subject to numerous plans for redevelopment. The building existed until 1997, when it was demolished. ==Images== Image:1911 NationalTheatre TremontSt Boston Massachusetts BPL.png|National Theatre, Tremont St. (near Berkeley St.), Boston, 1911 (photo courtesy Boston Public Library) Image:1915 NationalTheatre BostonGlobe March7.png|Advertisement for Tillie's Punctured Romance, with Charlie Chaplin, 1915 Image:1915 Hippodrome BostonEveningTranscript Oct4.png|Advertisement for "base ball machine" at the Hippodrome (i.e. National), 1915 Image:1917 Curley NationalTheatre BostonGlobe Dec1.png|James Curley election campaign rally, 1917 Image:1920 Rutherford NationalTheatre BostonEveningGlobe Dec17.png|Advertisement for Rutherford at the National, 1920 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Theatre, Boston (1911)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
