Regent Theatre

Another view of the queue to see “The Dolly Sisters” 22nd April 1946. The multi-colored vertical ‘Regent’ neon sign in the middle of the building was a front-of-house feature for more than 30 years. Need for repairs under the sign company contract became more common as the years went by – to their chagrin. By the late 1960s Hoyts had no desire to replace it, and the sign company finally negotiated an end to the lease, removing it around 1972.
