Correct me if I'm wrong A-Bob, but wasn't the Odeon renamed the Regal, and not the other way round?

No mate, it was The Odeon for all of my life, until it was renamed The Classic in the Seventies and it stayed like that until it was demolished.

Re: Generation X

There was no "Princess" Cinema. The Empire theatre on Edgar Street was renamed the "New Prince's" Theatre after the original "Prince's" Theatre next door burned down.

See Willow's post, Number 41, in this thread.

Now I think about it I've seen a photo somewhere of the Odeon when it was called the Regal. Is it on here somewhere or is it one of Atarah's?
