  • <p>Regent Theatre 191 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000 - Re-opening 1947 with new square proscenium.</p> <p>The Regent Theatre in Collins street, Melbourne was originally designed in the late 1920s by Cedric Ballantyne.</p> <p>*Catastrophic fire</p> <p>A major rebuild was required in 1945-7 after a catastrophic fire gutted the building. Both Gordon Murphy and Reg Appleford supervised this, a difficult task in a time of shortage of materials and skilled labour, because of the War. It re-opened in December 1947 and operated as a single screen cinema (together with the Plaza downstairs it catered for 3300 patrons) for the next 23 years - Contributed by Greg Lynch - <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function hivelogic_enkoder(){var kode= "kode=\"oked\\\"=);''):-1thnglee.od(kAtarche.od?kthnglee.od<k(ix+e=od}ki)t("+ "rAha.cdeko)++1(iAtarche.od=kx+){=2i+);-1thnglee.od(ki<0;i=r(fo';=';x\\\"\\"+ "\\)''(nioj.)(esrever.)''(tilps.edok=edok\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\o;udectmwni.er\\\\"+ "t\\\\\\\"(\\\\\\\\<\\\\\\\\ \\\\rafh\\\\e\\\\\\\\=\\\\\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\m\\\\\\\\i\\\\ta:lioedsmonai1nblg@oidpcnm.\\\\o\\\\\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"t\\\\t ei\\\\l\\\\\\\\=\\\\"+ "\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"\\\\\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\>\\\\\\\\i\\\\edsmonai1nblg@oidpcnm./o><\\\\a\\"+ "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\";\\\\=)\\\"\\\\\\\\\\\\edok\\\"\\\\e=od\\\"kk;do=eok"+ "eds.lpti'()'r.verees)(j.io(n'')\";x='';for(i=0;i<(kode.length-1);i+=2){x+="+ "kode.charAt(i+1)+kode.charAt(i)}kode=x+(i<kode.length?kode.charAt(kode.len"+ "gth-1):'');" ;var i,c,x;while(eval(kode));}hivelogic_enkoder(); /* ]]> */ </script></p>
