Bijou theatre closing 20 Dec 1943, Mon Chattanooga Daily Times (Chattanooga, Tennessee) Newspapers.com
The Well’s Bijou theatre opened on October 22nd, 1906. Grand opening ad posted.
The February 26, 1906, issue of The Atlanta Constitution had an article about the Bijou Theatre planned for that city, and noted that its architect, Fuller Claflin, was drawing plans for several other projects for the Bijou Theatre Company, including this house in Chattanooga.
All the photo links above are dead. This might be the 1906 photo of the Bijou, and this one dates from 1934.
Here are two 1934 photos, from the same source:

The Bijou Theatre was one of four theatres operated by Paramount Theatres, subsidiaries.
It is probally best that you copy and paste the web address (http://www.lib.chattanooga.gov/localHist/photodatabase.html)
since the site doesn’t respond well to urls. Once there, do a search for Bijou and it will direct you onto the photo site.
Here is a 1906 photo of the Bijou.
