Doing some research on this theatre I discovered from the local newspaper,Northcote Leader,that this theatre opened as the Regent on 8 August 1925.It was operated by Associated Pictures and lists the designers as Millsom Brothers and the builders as S Millsom and Sons PTY LTD.I think Darebin Libraries are getting confused with another theatre which was located a block down the street which I think was called the Thornbury Theatre.

I found this information: Established as the New Thornbury Theatre at 853 High Street in 1925, it ran until 1931. It was revamped and reopened as the Regent Theatre in 1932, finally closing its doors in 1970. Source.
