Built on Fountain Square in 1908 by Ike Libson, who came from Pittsburgh,PA. He got his early start in the movie business under the guidance of the Davis-Harris Chain and their Amusement Park and Theatres. It was an early nickelodeon which remained a silent house up to 1934 when it was closed.

Fountain Square was where Marcus Loew got his start with his first nickelodeon called the Hippodrome and Peoples Arcade and Theatre in 1906.

The Bijou of 1908 and the earlier Gayety-Star -Hippodrome of 1906 ,both became sound movie houses in 1930 ,that's four years before they were both closed by Ike Libson.Today a Fifth Third Bank occupies their footprint.
