The National initially closed in 1930. Warner Brothers rewired the venue for Vitaphone sound playing German language films beginning on December 3, 1931. That turned out to be a dud closing after six weeks on January 19, 1932 playing the German film, “Die Lindenwirtin vom Rhein.” That is its final screening.

The last showing at the National Theatre was scheduled as a four-wall for April 1, 1933 of “Mad Moments of Youth.” That was halted by the local police. So the venue’s last call was in 1932. The venue was listed as “abandoned” before being used for storage.
