  • <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">

              <p>The main difference noted in pictorial histories of the Regent is that of the proscenium. The proscenium is generally an arch that surrounds the stage. The original Regent had a rounded arch, however the restored stage contained a square, or straight top edge – Contributed by Greg Lynch – <script type="text/javascript">
