  • Atkinson's Residence
    Rod Blackmore’s AUSTRALASIAN THEATRE ORGANS New South Wales section Best known location: Regent Theatre, Sydney WurliTzer theatre organ Opus No. 1808 Style 260 3 manuals, 15 ranks now 3 manuals 16 ranks at John Atkinson’s residence, Hurstville NSW The Regent theatre in George Street, Sydney, was built by entrepreneurs J.C. Williamson’s, opening on 9th March 1928 and leased to the Hoyts circuit of cinemas. Regent theatres were flagships for Hoyts across the nation and were renowned for their lavish adornments. When the theatre opened it was equipped with a 2 manual 8 ranks WurliTzer theatre organ, style F, opus no. 1730 but this proved to be too small for the auditorium and was quickly relocated to the Plaza theatre, Melbourne (Victoria), there being enlarged to 12 ranks. It was replaced in the same year by opus no. 1808, a WurliTzer of 3 manuals and 15 ranks which had been on its way to the Capitol theatre in Perth (Western Australia.) The two organ chambers with timber walls were set high up behind the left and right hand sides of the proscenium. The console was originally on its own hoist in the left hand side of the orchestra pit, but when orchestras ceased to be employed in about 1949 the console was moved to centre position on the orchestra hoist. The sounds of the organ filled the auditorium with beautiful tones; to this author’s ear it was a sweeter-toned organ than the similar instrument (opus 1813) which was installed the same year at Sydney’s Capitol theatre.

  • Hoyts Entertainment Centre
    Document title: Hoyts Entertainment Centre, Sydney _______________ photo essay Author/s: Ross Thorne Summary / abstract: On 25th October 1973 I was invited to have lunch with Dale Turnbull, then head of Hoyts Theatres Ltd, at its office in the Plaza Theatre building, 610 George Street, Sydney. Also at lunch was Turnbull’s father-in-law, Ben Fuller Jnr with whom I conversed about his early life in the Ben and John Fuller the- atre entrepreneural business. The conversation turned to my theatre history interests and to a group that had been formed with psychologists -- the Architectural Psychology Research Unit. I explained how we were interested in how people used and perceived buildings. This must have sparked some inter- est. Dale Turnbull told me that Hoyts were building the first large multi-plex cinema building in Australia (almost oppo- site in George Street, on the Trocadero dance hall site). They had employed the Melbourne architectural firm of Grounds, Romberg and Boyd for the design of the centre with seven cinema auditoria together with a range of other facilities to make attending to see a film a pleasurable experience. The de- sign however was not a simple corridor of cinema auditoria, it The facade of the Hoyts Entertainment Centre rep- had two auditoria on the ground floor foyer level, and another resented the worst of the five off a mezzanine lobby above. Hoyt’s was worried about style of architecture of the how patrons, unused to at least seven films in seven auditoria, 1970s -- so-called “func- would become confused, and maybe go to the wrong audito- tional”, but simply banal rium for their film.
