The Eagle opened around 1915, in the Bridgeport neighborhood, located on Morgan Street near 33rd Place, not far from the South Branch of the Chicago River. It could seat just under 300.

After it closed as a movie theater sometime in the 50s, the Eagle later operated as a banquet hall for many years, but is currently closed.

The Eagle Theatre is now eather a cono or an apartment complex known as "The Old Eagle" it appears to me that who ever owens it is in some way rembering the fact that it was once a movie theatre.

Just north of this at 3310 is a large building that once contained a big dance hall.

I'm writing a book about the history of Bridgeport for Arcadia Publishing and would LOVE a picture or two of the Wallace.

Please contact me if you have any of the Wallace or any Bridgeport theaters (I have the Ramova, The Milda and The Eagle (1991), but would love to see any and all shots of the 12-13 theaters that used to be in the neighborhood.

On a really sad note, Nancy of Nancy's Best Little Hair House passed away his past week. The Wallace theater building has been for sale for the last few months too.

Look forward to hearing from you.
