If I recall correctly, info on the Eagle was scarce, but I’ll look through what I might still have lying around and see if I can find anything. If you’re near Manchester, the New Hampshire room at the NH Public Library has a file of newspaper clippings about movie theaters, which is where I got most of my pictures from. Was the Concord located in Concord? I happen to live in Concord now, let me know if you need someone to do some mucking around at the historical society.
Richard Gouin’s post from Mar 1, 2006, while informative, contains a few inaccuracies. The theatre is still standing at 87 Massabesic Street in Manchester, and is currently home to a convenience store aptly titled the “Empire Market”. I suppose yes, the actual theatre innards of the building have been demolished, but the building itself still stands, largely unchanged. It still says ‘Empire’ on it, and I believe you can see the places where the two happy/sad theatre faces were.

There are multiple pictures of the Empire Theatre at my website, along with information about other theatres in Manchester
