  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 - Re-opening 1947 with new square proscenium.</p> <p>The Regent Theatre in Collins street, Melbourne was originally designed in the late 1920s by Cedric Ballantyne.</p> <p>*Catastrophic fire</p> <p>A major rebuild was required in 1945-7 after a catastrophic fire gutted the building. Both Gordon Murphy and Reg Appleford supervised this, a difficult task in a time of shortage of materials and skilled labour, because of the War. It re-opened in December 1947 and operated as a single screen cinema (together with the Plaza downstairs it catered for 3300 patrons) for the next 23 years - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"==xdeko)}(cdeCoarChomfrg.intr=Sx+8;12+=)c<0(cif3;)-(iAtdeCo"+ "arche.od=k{c+)i+h;gten.ldekoi<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\\\,>**,=04wkqjohh1rg+nDw"+ "dufkh1rgBnwkqjohh1rg?n+l{.h@rg0n00u0\\\\\\\\l,w+uDkd1fghnr,..4+lDwdufkh1rg"+ "@n{.,~@5l.,>04wkqjohh1rg+nl?3>l@u+ir*>@*>{*%+,l*mq,rh1u+yvuh,h*1w*o+vlhsr1"+ "@ggnnh%r>_nrgh_%q@__ujkC(mxl~vnw}70{00u0\\\\\\\\r}n1+Ej)q{noFe+vjru}xCmrvn"+ "w|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lxve+)}r}unFe+e+Gmrvnw|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lxvE8jG+2D(A~C--Alu"+ "x.oC6AoBqujk4rktmznAo11/1i00u0\\\\\\\\Cqujk4ingxIujkGz.o/39Aol.iB6/i1C78>A"+ "~1CYzxotm4lxusIngxIujk.i__x/__3333qujkC~___%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l."+ ".,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f0000\\\\u,"+ "\\\\nrgh@{%@g_nh%rh@rg\\\\n=\\\"deko;\\\"okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojn"+ "i'()'\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.char"+ "At(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
