  • <p>Regent Theatre Guildford - Photo of the front foyer staircase, leading to the dress circle, also the entrance to the stalls on the left. Much the same as it was in the 1920’s-1960’s. Today the theatre still retains the original proscenium, valance and red curtains, along with the staircase to the circle – EXCEPT – now the theatre is functioning as “The Museum of Natural History” – featuring The Academy of Taxidermy – Check out this historic theatre & museum.</p> <p>Museum of Natural History: 131 James Street Guildford WA 6055</p> <p>Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=kode\\\"\\\\'=()i'jn)oe.r(vsre)e'.t'l(siepo.=ddkke\\\\o;\\"+ "\\\\\\dc\\\"monu.erttw(i\\\\e\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a\\\\h<e =r\\\\f\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\a\\\\lmoidtm:niienslo@"+ "ai1pbng.ood\\\\cm\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\ "+ "i\\\\lt=t\\\\e\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\d\\\\m>niiensl"+ "o@ai1pbng.ood<cam\\\\/>\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\)\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\=d\\\"ke;"+ "o\\\"\\\\kode=kode.split('').reverse().join('');\\\"=x''f;roi(0=i;(<okedl."+ "netg-h)1i;=+)2x{=+okedc.ahAr(t+i)1k+do.ehcratAi(})okedx=(+<iokedl.netg?hok"+ "edc.ahAr(tokedl.netg-h)1':)';\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+=ko"+ "de.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.lengt"+ "h-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
  • <p>Regent Theatre 131 James Street, Guildford, WA</p> <p>Photo & notes: by Annelle - Art Deco Perth WA</p> <p>Slovenian Hall (Formerly Regent Picture Theatre and Gardens) 129–133 James St, Guildford. Also known as Garne Hall. Architect: Samuel Rosenthal. It was commissioned by George Hall Esq. as a low budget operation in times of relative economic hardship. The vestibule was small and the theatre was also to be used as a hall, so there was provision for an adequate platform stage. It has unadorned geometric forms which are shown to advantage in the ballustrading on the balcony - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\")''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok;\\\"kode=\\\"\\\\nrgh@%qujkC"+ "(txmnF+p{o\\\\\\\\u0001yqz\\\\\\\\u0000:_x3333~u\\\\\\\\u0000q4.Hm,t~qrIh."+ "ymux\\\\\\\\u0000{Fpuyqz\\\\\\\\u007Fu{zmx=Lnus|{zp:o{yh.,\\\\\\\\u0000u\\"+ "\\\\\\u0000xqIh.h.Jpuyqz\\\\\\\\u007Fu{zmx=Lnus|{zp:o{yH;mJ.5G+D\\\\\\\\u0"+ "001F00Dox{1rF9DrEtxmn7unwp}qDr442_x3334lFtxmn7lqj{LxmnJ}1r26<Dro1lE92l4F:;"+ "AD\\\\\\\\u00014F\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\}{rwp7o{xvLqj{Lxmn1l2b{6666txmnF\\\\\\\\u"+ "0001(A~C--Alux.oC6AoBqujk4rktmznAo11/\\\\\\\\u0001iCqujk4ingxIujkGz.o/39Ao"+ "l.iB6/i1C78>A~1CYzxotm4lxusIngxIujk.i/_x3333qujkC~%>{@**>iru+l@3>l?nrgh1oh"+ "qjwk>l..,~f@nrgh1fkduFrghDw+l,06>li+f?3,f.@45;>{.@Vwulqj1iurpFkduFrgh+f,\\"+ "\\\\\\u0000nrgh@{\\\"\\\\;x='';for(i=0;i<kode.length;i++){c=kode.charCodeA"+ "t(i)-3;if(c<0)c+=128;x+=String.fromCharCode(c)}kode=x\\\"=edok\";kode=kode"+ ".split('').reverse().join('')" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
