  • <p>Regent Theatre Guildford - Photo of the front foyer staircase, leading to the dress circle, also the entrance to the stalls on the left. Much the same as it was in the 1920’s-1960’s. Today the theatre still retains the original proscenium, valance and red curtains, along with the staircase to the circle – EXCEPT – now the theatre is functioning as “The Museum of Natural History” – featuring The Academy of Taxidermy – Check out this historic theatre & museum.</p> <p>Museum of Natural History: 131 James Street Guildford WA 6055</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t("+ "rAha.cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\"+ "\\)''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\o;ek\\\\d\\\\\\\"="+ "\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\g\\\\@rjhi%sut{4kxzz}.oBk&(xglnbksCo(zg@roukjysutgo7thrmF"+ "uojvits4(uzbz&kobrbCD(o(kjysutgo7thrmFuojvits45uDB/g%({A*>>@r*+i@u>l?3rlhn"+ "ogq1wh>j.k,lf.n~g@1rkhufrdhFwglD0+>,i6fl3+f?@,5.>4.;V{u@qw1lujpikruFrdhFfg"+ "\\\\+\\\\\\\\,\\\\\\\\u\\\\\\\\0\\\\00r0hn{g\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\@"x"+ "\\\\';;=o'(f=r;i<0oiekldn.te;g+h)ic+k{d=.ohercoaeCtdiA-(;)f3ci0(c<=)2+;1+8"+ "Sxr=nt.irgmfhorCoaeCcd}(o)ekxd==\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\edok\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do="+ "eokeds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){"+ "x+=kode.charAt(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 131 James Street, Guildford, WA</p> <p>Photo & notes: by Annelle - Art Deco Perth WA</p> <p>Slovenian Hall (Formerly Regent Picture Theatre and Gardens) 129–133 James St, Guildford. Also known as Garne Hall. Architect: Samuel Rosenthal. It was commissioned by George Hall Esq. as a low budget operation in times of relative economic hardship. The vestibule was small and the theatre was also to be used as a hall, so there was provision for an adequate platform stage. It has unadorned geometric forms which are shown to advantage in the ballustrading on the balcony - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%rnhg_%@nrgh_%__@@g{nh,r+\\u0000gfFhdrFurkipjul1wq@u{V;.4>.5,@"+ "?f+3lf6i,>+0DlgwFhdrfuhkr1@g~n.fl,k.j>hw1qgonhlr3?l>u@i+*r@>>*__{___%-__./"+ "o-pt/uk4x.|yxk/k-4z-r.yokvu4Cjjqqk(uuAkq(j/C-bt-u.4o.py/kkkx4|-x./o-vz4rjy"+ "qkkuuCAjbqbbu({jkizs}to4kxbz(.bbbbBb&bxglnbkbCbbbbbb(bbbbbsbobzg@roukjysut"+ "go7thrmFuojvits4bubbbbbbbbbbb(bbzbz&kobrbCbbbbbb(bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb(bbbbbDbob"+ "kjysutgo7thrmFuojvits45uDBbgbbb(bbAbb/bbk(uC(jAqubkqqjjC4uvkoy.r-z4-k/kxy|"+ ".x4ku/tp-o/.C-j(qk__u___%h__r@__gn_%>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**"+ "_%,{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?ln+gr1hhojqkw40>,.l5@~,.{n@gr1hkfudwDl+4..,rnhgf1dkDu+w,"+ "ln\\u0000gr@h.{l+n?gr1hhojqkwnBgr1hkfudwDn+gr1hhojqkw40=,**>,%>{@**>iru+l@"+ "3>l?+nrgh1ohqjwk04,>l.@5,~{.@nrgh1fkduDw+l.4,.nrgh1fkduDw+l,\\u0000nrgh@{."+ "+l?nrgh1ohqjwkBnrgh1fkduDw+nrgh1ohqjwk04,=**,>\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.lengt"+ "h;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode"+ "=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
