The Regent is the same theater that was originally the Hibbard Opera House from 1908 to 1920.
From the book “Old Jackson Town”: “The Bijou Theatre staged local and national talent until it was remodeled in 1925 and reopened as the Regent Theatre. Built in 1887 as the Hibbard Opera House, it was gutted by fire in 1899 and rebuilt as the Bijou in 1902.”
