  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC – The Wurlitzer in action 1950’s.</p> <p>Photo: Julien Arnold</p> <p>Notes:Vintage Hammond.Com – The Wurlitzer console was located on a lift at the left-hand side of the orchestra pit. The (upright) piano was housed in a small chamber on the left-hand side of the proscenium. During the 1950s, the organ console was moved into the decorative box at circle level on the left-hand side of the theatre, a position which made it difficult for organists to hear a proper balance between the different chambers – Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=rnhg%@@{ghnru\\\\0000f,h+rguFkdpFur1iqjulVw.@>{5;@4f.3,f?i"+ "+>l06l,w+hDrguFkd1fghnrf@,~..>lwkqjohh1rg?n>l@3+lru>i**{@_>/%--t.uo4p./ykk"+ "xk|4x-/.-ozvr4yjkqukCujAqq(juCkb(/A--/@37zntmrkk4uj.qGzgxink4ujEqzntmrkk4u"+ "jBq.o~1kCuj3q33x3__o/z.xGng4ijkqu/117.oGzgxink4ujCq~1u\\\\00108/1CAo7/n3mz"+ "kt4rjkquB.AoC6.ouxAl--~CbA(b~bCkju3333_xq_/i.kjuIxgnIsuxl4mtoxzYC1~A>87C1i"+ "/6Bi.loA93/o.zGkjuIxgni4kjuqCi\\\\/0u0011A1zotnrmkku4BjAqCo.6uoAx-l~-bC(bb"+ "bbbAbD2+Gj8Evxl7mwxyprkI:ujwxr|wnvrmG+e+eFnu}r})+evxl7mwxyprkI:ujwxr|wnvrm"+ "Cx}urjv+eFon{q)jE+1n}r{\\\\70u00w0v}lnm~Cxbbb(bbbbkjuqbbb(kCuj(qAbuqkjqCju"+ "4kvyor.z--4/kxk|yx.k4/upto-./-C(jkqu%_h@rg%nn>gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+,*u1yhuhhv,+"+ "m1lr+q**\\\",x;'=;'of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3fic(0"+ "<c)=+21;8+xS=rtni.grfmohCraoCedc(})okedx=\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1)"+ ";i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charA"+ "t(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC - Tony Fenelon at the Regent theatre Wurlitzer 1960’s</p> <p>Tony Fenelon is a much celebrated international organist who spent much of his early years performing at the Regent Wurlitzer. Tony was encouraged by the late GRAEME HODGES who at the time was the head of Hoyts in Victoria - Graeme gave him the keys to the cinema so that he could rehearse or perform when-ever he pleased. Tony recorded on the Crest & Festival record labels.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=')('injo).e(rsvere).''t(lispe.od=kdeko\\\\;k\\\"do=e\\\"\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\rnhg%@nrgh%_u@kq(j-C./o-pt/uk4x.|yxk/k-4z-r.yokvu4CjjqqkbujAi(su"+ "t{4kxzz}.o(kbbgbnBk&Cxblbb(bbbgbrsuojzs@tooktyruFgo7vhtm4uujbibsbbbb&(obrz"+ "Czbkbb(bbbbbbb(bbbjbsDtooktyruFgo7vhtm4uujBigsb5bD/(bbCAj(qkAuu(kqqjjC4uvk"+ "oy.r-z4-k/kxy|.x4ku/tp-o/.>-%_{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduF"+ "rghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\\\n\\\\\\\\u\\\\0000rg"+ "h@%{{>*@>*ri+u@l>3?ln+gr1hhojqkw40>,.l5@~,.{n@gr1hkfudwDl+4..,rnhgf1dkDu+w"+ ",l\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\0u00n0gr@h.{l+n?gr1hhojqkwnBgr1hkfudwDn+gr1hhojqkw40=,**"+ ">,\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\x;'=;'of(r=i;0<iokedl.netg;h+i)+c{k=do.ehcraoCedtAi(-);3"+ "fic(0<c)=+21;8+xS=rtni.grfmohCraoCedc(})okedx=\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do=eokeds"+ ".lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kod"+ "e.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>
