The Wilke Theatre is one of three houses listed at Eureka Springs in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, the others being the Best and the Electric Motion Picture Parlor. By 1926, the only house listed at Eureka Springs in the FDY was the Commodore (listed at Cinema Treasures as the New Basin.)
Two other Eureka Springs theater names appeared in the July 7, 1923 issue of Moving Picture World, which said “K. T. Poplim of the Empire Theatre at Eureka Springs. Ark., has closed the Blue Mouse Theatre of that place.” The Blue Mouse only remained closed for a week though, its reopening being announced in the July 14 issue of MPW.
Empire and Blue Mouse could, of course, have been akas for earlier Eureka Springs movie houses.
