The Bijou was “The Prettiest Playhouse in Maine” according to the text of their advertisement in the 1914 edition of the Maine Automobile Road Book. There is a photo of the Bijou’s reasonably pretty auditorium.

From the Bangor Daily News: The Bijou Theater was located on the site of the former Gem Theater which opened in 1908. The address was 164 Exchange Street.

The Bijou in Bangor is listed in the 1942-43 Motion Picture Almanac as being part of M&P Theatres (Mullin & Pinanski) of Boston. M&P was an affiliate of Paramount. Other Bangor theatres run by M&P in 1942 were the Graphic, Opera House and Park.
