  • <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=\")''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\"kode=\\\"\\\\oked\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\"\\\\==xdeko)}(cdeCoarChomfrg.intr=Sx+8;12+=)c<0(cif3;)-(iAtdeCoarche"+ ".od=k{c+)i+h;gten.ldekoi<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\@{g"+ "hnr0000\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\u,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\+fghFrduFkrpiuj1lqwu@V{.;>45.@,f?"+ "3+fli6>,0+lDwghFrdufkh1rg@n~f.,l.k>jwhq1oghnrl?3>l@u+ir*>@*>{A%-/@-7/n3mzk"+ "t4rjkquz.xGng4ijkqunEmzkt4rjkquoB1.C~jkqu3333_xo/z.xGng4ijkqu/117.oGzgxink"+ "4ujCq~10100\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\u/\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\C8o1/A37zntmrkk4uj.qoB6AoCx.l"+ "u-AC-A~/(DAb(g5Bsui4jtuvmohF7rgtuoytksojDbbb(bbb(Ckrzozb(s&bbui4jtuvmohF7r"+ "gtuoytksoj@uzrogsbbb(Clkxn&gB(.zbxk4ot}szikj{(ukCuj%qh@rg\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n"+ "=\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\deko;\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\okedk=do.epsil(t''.)erevsr(e.)ojni'("+ ")'\\\"\\\\;x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.c"+ "harAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');\\\"=edok\";"+ "kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
