  • <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\\\"=kode\\\"\\\\r=hn%gu@kq(j-C./o-pt/uk4x.|yxk/k-4z-r.yokvu4Cj"+ "jqqkbuqAj(Cu(kbbxb~mnl}v\\\\w7\\\\u0000{r}n1+Ej)q{noFe+vjru}xCmrvnw|rxwju:"+ "Ikrpyxwm7lxve+)}r}unFe+e+Gmrvnw|rxwju:Ikrpyxwm7lxvE8jG+2Db(bbA~C--Alux.oC6"+ "AoBqujk4rktmznAo11\\\\\\\\0/0ui0q1jC4unkxiugkIzjoG3.A/l9io6.iBC/81A71>Y~xC"+ "tz4oxmslnuxIugkIij_.3/3xq3j3CubkC~j(qkAuu(kqqjjC4uvkoy.r-z4-k/kxy|.x4ku/tp"+ "-o/.>-@%*{i*u>lr3+l@n>g?1rhhjokqlw.>~.@,rfhnfgd1FkguDr+h,w6ll0+>?i,f.34f;@"+ "{5@>w.lVjuiqr1FudpFkgu+r,huf\\\\\\\\0000nrgh@{\\\\;=\\\"'xf'r;io0(i=k;d<.o"+ "eeglhnit+;{+=)ocekcda.ChdrAo(e)t3ii-(;<f)c+01c8=x2=;t+iSgrfno.CramChdr(o)e"+ "kcd}=oxe;\\\"=x''f;roi(0=i;(<okedl.netg-h)1i;=+)2x{=+okedc.ahAr(t+i)1k+do."+ "ehcratAi(})okedx=(+<iokedl.netg?hokedc.ahAr(tokedl.netg-h)1':)';\";x='';fo"+ "r(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=kode.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>
