How sickly ironic that the last movie shown at the Island Theatre (August 2012) was named Sparkle, something the building hasn’t seen for a generation. It certainly sparkled in June 1915, when it opened as the Eagle and for 20 cents folks saw the movie David Harum. The 1925 case of Judkins vs. Charette proved that, as a result of a storm in August 1924, the Eagle Theatre’s roof had failed, leaking in several places that caused the rusting away of certain joints and left cracks running down the rear wall.
