  • <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=\\\"\\\\)''(nioj.)("+ "esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\kode=\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\x=edok})c(edoCrahCmorf.gnirtS=+x;821=+c)0<c(fi;3-)i(tAedoCrahc.edo"+ "k=c{)++i;htgnel.edok<i;0=i(rof;''=x;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv1hgrn@hgrn>%nrgh@%_j"+ "ui{sktz4}xozk.(Bg&nxklCb(sgorzu@josktyoutgr7Fhomvutj4iusb(&zozrkCb(b(Djosk"+ "tyoutgr7Fhomvutj4iusB5gD(/A%_>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduF"+ "rghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,0000u\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nrgh@{%@hgrn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\=edok\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\;kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\=edok\\"+ "\"\\\\;kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('')\\\"=edok\";kode=kode.split('"+ "').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 – Re-opening 1947</p> <p>The new straight edged proscenium</p> <p>The main difference noted in pictorial histories of the Regent is that of the proscenium.
