	Cinema Treasures National Theatre
		Milwaukee's NATIONAL Theatre was of the "atmospheric" or 'stars-and-clouds' type, but its name was not an expression of its importance to the nation, but for the fact that it was on National Ave., which had been Elizabeth St. in the city, but changed to a plank road farther out.
		In a sense then, this name was of some national significance since soldiers from across the nation were sent here to the 45 acres of park-like grounds where there was (and is) also the WARD MEMORIAL THEATRE of 1881.
		The National was a handsome 'atmospheric,' although by the time this writer saw the theater in its last years, most of the light bulbs were burned out, and the clouds projectors had ceased to work long ago.

	National theatre boss: touring is a priority - [Sunday Herald]
		Neil Murray believes Scottish theatre’s neglect of the international circuit means it has a lower profile than the drama produced by countries such as Ireland, where they have used touring theatre to gain a reputation as a cultural destination.
		THE newly-appointed executive director of the National Theatre of Scotland has pledged to make touring the company’s work abroad a priority, conceding that Scottish theatre is lagging behind that of other small countries.
		Although the pieces would be carefully selected, Murray said, there was no reason why the Scottish company could not tour as much as the National Theatre in England or the Royal Shakespeare Company – especially on the university and festival circuits in the US and Australia.
