Living in South Australia all my life I cannot remember this theatre and especially only a couple of doors away from my old favorite Regent which recently closed (that is a huge lose) to S.A.
I can remember sitting on a Sat Night at the Regent and seeing the Big Burgandy Curtain going up followed by the Gold curtains behind it.
When the Theatre was divided up I crept in and still remember the workman tipping the organ pipes up and the main chandelier wraped in plastic. I also had a little look in the Melbourne Regent when it was updated. Oh well we still have it. So long to the Adelaide Regent a real sad lose it was sheer class.I think it is now being divided up for retail use. The facia is still there in Rundle Mall
Thankyou Patrick.
I honestly thought the Theatre would have been in the USA somewhere.
Well done to the people of New Zealand for maitaining a great old Theatre.

I see by a recent photo of the Uptown Theatre (Chicago)that there is a lot of scaffolding around the exterior of the theatre. Is there anything happening.
