A few other comments. The Regal originally had curtains (tabs) that opened sideways but when CinemaScope was installed they replaced the curtains with a curtain that rose, possibly to give more side of screen space for the scope screen. AS there was no fly space an “Austrian” curtain was used which folds up on itself. When the cinema closed it was used for ABC television rehearsals mainly the television series “Armchair Theatre”

I used to walk past this cinema everyday on the way to school. I think I also saw my first film here “Singing in the Rain"
