Listed in the 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook with a seating capacity given as 946. This theatre was located in central Hartford a couple of doors away from the Princess Theatre. Information about its history would be appreciated.

Two photos with the Regal in the foreground and the Princess in the background can be found on page 25 of the “Images in America” book Hartford, Volume I. You can see the marquee displays on the Regal. The Verdict and Child of Divorce in one (both 1946), Tomorrow the World (1944)and Song of the Sarong (1945) on the other. On the Princess program in the photo 1946 was The Dark Corner.
An Austin theater organ opus 1630 size 3/8 was installed in the Regal Theater in 1928 at a cost of $10,000.

In early 1948 the Regal showed the Italian films Shoe Shine and To Live in Peace, not typical of their policy.
