The red arrow marks the correct location of the Eagle. It was on the north side of Central Avenue between Madison and Putnam. I remember seeing a newsreel there with a lone crying baby sitting in the street (probably Japanese invasion of Manchuria about 1938). I believe at that time the Grove was the more popular movie house. I know it was for my family. Bob Smith {PS 106, JHS 85} (1296 Putnam Avenue ‘til April “51 then to Korean war. Pop left Brooklyn Navy Yard for Long Beach (CA) Navy Yard in Jan.52, so CA was my new home when I came back. I could never afford college in NY but CA college was almost free in the 1950’s.
