The Albion was a 19th century stage and was formerly known as the Electric Theatre. This was renamed as Biju Theatre after Kaliprasanna Singh's son, Bijoy. But when this was taken over by the Madans in 1915, the name Electric Theatre was still in vogue.  It was renamed as Albion in the 1920s. Subsequently, Albion Theatre was renamed as Regal in 1932. The Bagarias took over Regal in 1962. The seating capacity was 575 then. For many years, the theatre ran with this capacity. The first big release was Shikar (1968). It ran for nearly 75 weeks. Haathi Mere Saathi (1971), Jai Santoshi Maa (1975) also ran very well. At that point, Regal had to compete with many big cinemas located in the same area. So, the owners came up with the strategy of relying on mythological movies and reruns of old Hindi films. Baiju Bawra (1952), Naya Daur (1957) and Goonj Uthi Shehnai (1959) did exceedingly well there. Bhojpuri movies too were screened. With the advent of videos, the business of old movies has gone down. From 1998 to 2001, adult films were screened there. The owners rued that decision when they realized that those were wrong movies since they gave a different kind of branding to the theatre. From 2004 onwards, Regal started screening Bengali films. There was a time when Regal had screened movies of SVF for a year. Just before the pandemic, Regal shifted to screening Bengali and Hindi movies a week or two after their release. Pandemic came as a blow and when the cinema reopened, it was in dire need of repair. In 2022, the cinema was closed. Now it has become part of a retail food chain.
