Hi darkwind & cinefan
That was my Great Uncle – Ernest (Ernie) Hurry! A smashing man and greatly missed. He was always very proud of the theatre & his staff. He enjoyed running the Saturday club too.
It’s a shame I can’t post a photo of him on here with some of his stars – if I get round to making up a webpage I’ll put his photo on and post a link here.

My Great Uncle was the Manager at the Regal in the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s. We’ve lots of photos and autographs, dedicated to him, from stars who appeared at the Regal (including Carmen Miranda!).

The Bradford Museum of Film & Photography in West Yorkshire has some memorabilia from this theatre/cinema relating to the stage designs, exhibitions etc.

My Granddad used to occasionally play the organ at the Regal too!
