This photographs show the Regent’s impressive street frontage, with an audience queuing for PLANET OF THE APES which is prominently advertised as the attraction.
First in the popular series of “Apes” films opened at the Regent 15th August 1968. This photo was taken by John Mulligan in the school holidays on Tuesday 27th August – probably prior to the 10.50 a.m. morning session. At the time, to reduce advertising sign costs, the left side banner would feature a major coming, and in this case current, attraction.
