This picture was taken immediately inside the doors from George Street. Due to a lack of site depth, the very fine marble staircase had to wrap around the walls and thus lacked the magnificent impact of the wide flights of steps which graced other Regent Theatres.

The doors at left lead from the right side Stalls aisle, and were used only to help clear the house at the end of sessions. Fresh flower displays were once a common feature of foyer decoration in city theaters. By 1970 the Regent florist order was just for one bunch split between the two niches on either side of the landing shown here. However, as a cost cutting measure, this $10 weekly expenditure was discontinued shortly before this photo was taken.
