According to info I got last night from a former employee of the theatre, the staff was told that the Galaxy will close some time within the next two weeks. I havn’t been able to confirm this but I have no reason to disbeleive the person who told me this.

The UA Galaxy was among the handful of theaters equipped with Cinema Digital Sound (CDS), the 1990-1991 precursor to the contemporary digital sound formats.

It did have screens the one time I went there (for the SF Film Festival preview of “Bull Durham” in 1988). Though in my opinion, the screen may have been too large and draping for the theater(!)

I remember this theatre being written up in an architecture magazine (possibly Architectural Record) at the time of its opening under the title “A Movie Palace for the Eighties.” This theatre is plainer than the megaplexes being built today, but it was quite elegant compared to those cinemas built in the preceding decade of the 1970s, so at the time it did indeed seem like a modern movie palace by comparison.
