  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 - Re-opening 1947 with new square proscenium.</p> <p>The Regent Theatre in Collins street, Melbourne was originally designed in the late 1920s by Cedric Ballantyne.</p> <p>*Catastrophic fire</p> <p>A major rebuild was required in 1945-7 after a catastrophic fire gutted the building. Both Gordon Murphy and Reg Appleford supervised this, a difficult task in a time of shortage of materials and skilled labour, because of the War. It re-opened in December 1947 and operated as a single screen cinema (together with the Plaza downstairs it catered for 3300 patrons) for the next 23 years - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@@{ghnru\\\\0000f,h+rguFkdpFur1iqjulVw.@>{5;@4f.3,f?i"+ "+>l06l,w+hDrguFkd1fghnrf@,~..>lwkqjohh1rg?n>l@3+lru>i**{@_>/%--t.uo4p./ykk"+ "xk|4x-/.-ozvr4yjkqukCujAqq(juCkb(C~jkqu3333_x/_.ijkIugxInuslxm4otzxCY~1>A7"+ "81C/iB6.iol9A/3.oGzjkIugxink4ujCq\\\\i0u00/111Aozntmrkk4ujBqAoC6.ouxAl--~C"+ "bA(b\\\\b0u00F1mntx6666b{bb2b1lmnLxj{Lqxvo{p7rw}{\\\\\\\\4Fu\\\\0010AD:;4F"+ "2lE91lro<D261rJ}mnLxj{lqn7xmFt4l33x3__42r4qDp}nw7umntxrE9DrF{1ox0DF0u\\\\0"+ "010+D5GJ.;myHo{p:{zs|nu=Lmx{z\\\\u0u70zFyqpu.J.hIhxqu\\\\0000\\\\u0u00,0h."+ "{y:ozp|{usLnx=zmu{u\\\\00F7qzuyFp\\\\{0u00x0mu.yIhqrt~m,.Hq4u\\\\0000~u333"+ "3_x:_u\\\\0000qz\\\\y0u00o1p{F+mntxbbb(kCuj(qAbuqkjqCju4kvyor.z--4/kxk|yx."+ "k4/upto-./-C(jkqu%_h@rg%nn>gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+,*u1yhuhhv,+m1lr+q**\\\",x;'=;'"+ "of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3fic(0<c)=+21;8+xS=rtni.g"+ "rfmohCraoCedc(})okedx=\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.char"+ "At(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):''"+ ");" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 – Re-opening 1947</p> <p>The new straight edged proscenium</p> <p>The main difference noted in pictorial histories of the Regent is that of the proscenium.
