Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 – 1936 dedication plaque to the passing of Francis W. Thring. This can be found in the front foyer section of the Regent Theatre.
The Regent opened on 15 March, 1929, and maintained the tradition of dignity and elegance which typified Hoyts chain of Regent Theatres throughout Australia.
Melbourne’s Regent Theatre at 191 Collins Street was the finest of all the Regents – an Australia-wide chain of palatial cinemas built in the 1920s for Hoyts Theatres Ltd, then under the management of Francis W. Thring and George Tallis. Designed by Cedric H. Ballantyne, the two-level 3287-seat Regent opened on 15 March 1929 with a silent film, Two Lovers. Sound films were introduced soon after. Beneath the Regent’s stalls was a second cinema, the Plaza, seating 1235 on a single level. Regent film presentations were complemented by a concert orchestra, ballet, live acts and a Wurlitzer organ - Contributed by Greg Lynch –
