Like all cinemas, the Liberty suffered at the advent of television in the late 50′s, however, managed to stay afloat by adapting to the isolated position and local migrant population. Like the Empire Theatre before it, The Liberty began advertising in the Italian section of the Brunswick Sentinel, “Theatro Liberty” started showing foreign language films in 1958.
The Liberty managed to outlast all of Brunswick’s other cinemas and in the early 70′s became known as The Galaxy Cinema. The Galaxy exhibited mostly adult cinema, allowing it to survive into the early 80′s until the theatre inevitably closed.
