Regent Auditorium ca1940. Photo taken from rear of circle upstairs. Alcove and stage lighting was concealed neon, changing red, blue, green pre-show and at interval. A large ornamental ceiling light with frosted glass panels also with concealed neon changing red blue green in the centre of the auditorium ceiling - two panels can be seen in the top left of the photo. Sadly, none of this neon, nor the ceiling light exist today. On the right of the photo can be seen the edge of a series of 6 art-deco wall lights. Only two of these remain in the downstairs auditorium today. Photo:The Celluloid Circus, Wayne Brittenden
