I worked as an usher at the Bijou in 1951 when I was 15 years old. The manager at that time was Ed. Harrison. The theatre was water cooled and the system did not work well when crowded. I remember during 1951 when “Born Yesterday” was playing. It was very popular and ran for six weeks. During 1951 actresses Barbara Hale and Bee Williams made a person appearance at the Bijou promoting a picture that they were starring in. I still have the autographed pictures I received from them.
