The Regent Theatre launched September 12, 1914 with Estelle Mardo as “The Littlest Rebel.” The theatre was wired for sound to remain viable. Kallet Circuit took on the venue operating apparently until December 28, 1957 with “No Time to Be Young” and “The Young Don’t Cry.” The venue was gifted to Syracuse University where, in its post-commercial theatrical years, it was renamed as the University Regent Theatre with live plays and repertory film. Syracuse replaced the venue in 1980 with a contemporary building.
In 1965 the University did extensive renovations to allow the Regent to be used as a stage and performing arts venue in addition to film presentations. Slowly over time the use of the Regent for film subsided.
