On Tuesday, the historic La Paloma Theater in Encinitas was unexpectedly closed, putting the theater in the dark, but not its fate.

In addition to the regular screening of cult films such as the \"Rock Horror Picture Show\", Gates has been trying to turn the theater into the home of small art organizations such as the St. Digito theater, although the theater was closed five days ago, but the most recent work, The Teahouse of the moon in August, ended on Sunday.
\"I found out without warning at all (Gates\')
Gross Berg said: \"He intends to close the theater because he has been in arrears with us for two or three months, so we have taken over.
\"So now, before we know what\'s going to happen next, we need to figure out the details between him, the landlord and us,\" he said.
Gates could not be reached for comment.
Noma Payne, president of the San Digito theater, also wanted to know.

On February 1985, Seykota sold the property to Del March developer David Winkler and Ivan Gayler, who signed another 15-
