I think the older Regent listing is in error. This is apparently still shown as a theater on the 1947 Sanborn, which I do not have access to. The other possibility is that this theater was somehow never listed. The KHRI entry for this building has several historic photos, but you can’t make out a name in any of them. The elaborate cornice on top was removed by about 1950.

The Regent is mentioned in the June 16, 1923 issue of Exhibitors Trade Review which said the house had just been purchased by Messrs. F. W. Meade, Jr. and Sr., who had also acquired the Cozy and Elite Theatres of Pratt, Kansas.

The October 30, 1926 issue ofMoving Picture World said that the Regent Theatre at Eureka, Kansas was being remodeled.
