  • <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=\"nrgh@%qujkC(txmnF+xtnme+F{wqp.I5G.hmJH;{y:ozp|{usLnx=zmu{z\\u007Fyq"+ "puhJh.hhh.Ihxqu\\u0000,\\u0000.hhh{y:ozp|{usLnx=zmu{z\\u007Fyqpu{Fx\\u0000"+ "muhyh.Ihqrt~m,hH4.\\u0000q~u:_x3333z\\u0000yqo\\u0001p{G.{wqpwIp{:q|\\u007"+ "Fux4\\u000033:5q~q_x33:I\\u007F~4q:5{vzu3453De+F\\u000100oD{xr19FrDtEmx7nn"+ "upwq}rD44_x33342Flxtnml7jqL{mxJn1}2r<6rD1oEl294l:FA;\\u0001DF4}\\\\r{pwo7x"+ "{LvjqL{mx1n2ltb{6666mxFn\\u0001+D\\u0001F00Dox{1rF9DrE1txmn7unwp}q6:2Dr4F;"+ "2_x3334\\u00014Ftxmn7lqj{J}1r4:24txmn7lqj{J}1r2b{6666txmnF\\u000141rEtxmn7"+ "unwp}qHtxmn7lqj{J}1txmn7unwp}q6:2C002D(A~C--Alux.oC6AoBqujk4rktmznAo11/\\u"+ "0001iCqujk4ingxIujkGz.o/39Aol.iB6/i1C78>A~1CYzxotm4lxusIngxIujk.i/_x3333qu"+ "jkC~%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1ohqjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;"+ ">{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\u0000nrgh@{\";x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){"+ "c=kode.charCodeAt(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
