And that the grand, original auditorium was demolished years ago, and replaced 
with a 4-plex was the larger loss. 

 

Oh!  I didn't realize that!!  

 

I guess that's why they showed old photos of the auditorium.

What a travesty... for what remains of the facade and front box office area to 
not be saved and preserved is truly a loss for the city.  And that the grand, 
original auditorium was demolished years ago, and replaced with a 4-plex was 
the larger loss. 


Sad.

Brisbane's historic Regent Cinema will be closing today for redevelopment. 
Yet another of Australia's magnificent cinemas lost forever. This is a real 
tragedy and another example of greed from developers and stupidty of 
policticians.
