  • <p>Roxy Theatre 114 - 118 Pine Avenue, Leeton, NSW - ART DECO STYLE.</p> <h1>Art Deco architectural style</h1> <p>The Roxy is a fine example of an Inter-war cinema designed in a modified Art Deco architectural style with Art Nouveau and Spanish Mission elements. The building is constructed of brick walls, with the primary facade rendered, the roof clad in corrugated iron and timber floors.</p> <p>The theatre has a full size concert stage with the original two levels of seating, a foyer and ticket box area and an integrated shop at the west side. Large red neon lettering for “Roxy” is mounted above the roof parapet in three directions, plus extensive neon lighting on the front facade.</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"nrgh@%,**+qlrm1,+hvuhyhu1,**+wlosv1hgrn@hgrn>_%nrgh@_%__qujkC(uqkjb"+ "(Cxtnm+F{p\\u0001oqy\\u0000z____x3333:u~q\\u0000.4mHt,q~Ir.hmyxu{\\u0000pF"+ "yuzqu\\u007Fz{xmL=un|sz{:p{ohy,.u\\u0000x\\u0000Iq.h.hpJyuzqu\\u007Fz{xmL="+ "un|sz{:p{oHym;.JG5D+F\\u000100oD{xr19FrDtEmx7nnupwq}rD44____x33342Flxtnml7"+ "jqL{mxJn1}2r<6rD1oEl294l:FA;\\u0001DF4}\\\\r{pwo7x{LvjqL{mx1n2l{bb6666xtnm"+ "\\u0001FAb(C~--lAxuo.6CoAqBju4kkrmtnzoA11\\u0001/Ciuqkji4gnIxjuGk.z/o93oA."+ "lBi/61i7C>8~AC1zYoxmtl4uxIsgnIxju.k/iq____x3333juCk~(A~C--Alux.oC6AoB.qujk"+ "4rktmzn37/Ao1C8/\\u0001~1Cqujk4ingxGz.o17/1qujk4ingxGz.o/____x3333qujkC~1."+ "oBqujk4rktmznEqujk4ingxGz.qujk4rktmzn37/@--/A_%__>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqj"+ "wk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0"+ "000nrgh@{_%@hgrn%>nrgh@nrgh1vsolw+**,1uhyhuvh+,1mrlq+**,\";x='';for(i=0;i<"+ "kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCo"+ "de(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>

  • <p>The restrained beauty of Capitol’s ceiling decor and central frosted glass grand chandelier. Wouldn’t you like to know where THAT ended up?</p>
  • <p>October 21, 1944</p>
  • <p>Photo of an unknown organist playing the Capitol’s 4/21 Robert Morton Theatre pipe organ, Opus 17496, 1925. The 4/21 designation refers to the number of manuals (keyboard’s) and how many ranks (sets of pipes/voices) the organ had. For Robert Morton, this was a prestigious installation for the west coast based firm. For theatre organs, twenty one ranks was a good sized instrument and would’ve been a much better asset sonically, musically and versatile than the theatre’s in house orchestra.</p>

  • <p>Photo - Wayne Jacobs</p> <h1>Located in the Thornbury district of Melbourne, this opened as the Regent Theatre on 8th August 1925.</h1> <p>It was designed by Sam Millsom who specialised in fibrous plasterwork, although he was not a trained architect. A feature on the façade is a large bass-relief featuring a ploughman and his rearing horses. It was built for F.W. Thring’s Associated Theatres Pty. Ltd. and presented films and vaudeville acts on its large stage.</p> <h1>In 1926 it was taken over by Hoyts and re-named Hoyts Regent Theatre.</h1> <p>It was equipped with a Western Electric sound system in August 1929. The Regent Theatre was unheated until 1946 when architectural firm Cowper, Murphy and Associates supervised the installation of a gas-fired plenum system and carried out other minor alterations to the theatre. Hoyts purchased the freehold of the theatre at this time - Notes by Ken Roe</p> <p>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\\\"\\\\*,+*lqmr,1h+uvyhuh,1**"+ "w+olvsh1rg@nghnr%>rnhg%@,_**q+rl1m+,vhhuhy1u*,+*lwso1vghnrh@rg>n___%rnhg_@"+ "%_____,_**q+rl1m+,vhhuhy1u*,+*lwso1vghnrh@rg>n___________%____rnhg_@______"+ "__%_____________________j_ius{tk4zx}zo.kB(&gxnlkbCs(ogzr@uojksytuogt7rhFmo"+ "uvjti4su(bz&zokrbCb(D(ojksytuogt7rhFmouvjti4su5BDg/(_A________%___________"+ "__________>_@{**i>url+3@l>n?gr1hhojqkwl>..~,@frnhgf1dkFugrDh+w,l60l>+i?f,3"+ ".f4@;5{>@.wVlujqi1ruFpdkFugr+h,f0000\\\\un\\\\gr@h_{________%_____@_ghnr__"+ "_%____n>gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+,*u1yhuhhv,+m1lr+q**_,%_@_ghnr_%n>gr@hrnhgv1oswl*+"+ ",*u1yhuhhv,+m1lr+q**%,h@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."+ "charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.length-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
