So if the Cinema 70 and the Galazy 6 were in the same building, the address would be the same. The address for the Galaxy 6 was 280 Del Monte Shopping Ctr.
Could this possibly be the theatre that opened in 1967 with “Hawaii”?
Does anyone have pictures of this theatre?
The Galaxy 6 was actually remodelled by CinemaCal Enterprises and later operated by Century Theatres while the Del Monte 13 was being developed. The Galaxy was similar in design to a number of CinemaCal’s other locations, featuring the Brejfus sound panels of movie stars and film characters.
Totally sickening, the beauty of the big screen experiance being shreeded apart by UA for the value of a dollar. I remember seeing Doctor Dolittle here. These big beautiful screens are now just memories of a bygone era, only recreated for the rich in afflueent areas that charge $25/seat for the recreation of those memories. Monster pack'em in, double arch cheeseburger megaplexes, are just glorified commercial venues that screen advertisements for DVD’s of some remake of the or 50’s or 60’s (alas Dr. Dolittle, Cheaper by the Dozen). Yes, the glorious Cinema 70 (and 70mm production) has fallen victim to the age of pixelated packaging in the land remakes.
