Information for this tour was contributed by David Litterer. This theatre became the first theatre in what would eventually become the AMC chain. Maurice, Edward and Barney Dubinsky, performers who had traveled the midwest theatre circuit and tent shows performing melodramas with Jeanne Eagles, bought the Regent in 1920, creating a company called Dubinsky Theatres. Eventually they changed their family name to Durwood, and the company to Durwood Theatres. In 1961, the company passed on to Edward's son Stanley, who renamed it American Multi-Cinema, later opening their first multiplex, the Parkway Twin.
