The picture is the wrong Bijou. I’ll create an entry for that one. This entry is about a much smaller theater way out on the east end of town. Assuming the address is correct, this one is a bit confusing. The 1906 map shows 7707 as a small one story wooden building. By 1924, it has been replaced by a larger one story brick building, but the address is now 7709. 7707 is now the eastern half of a two story wooden building which was an office with a single 7705 address on the 1906 map.
I believe the three story bar at 7709 today was likely the site of the theater. The 1924 map shows the one story brick store at 7709 with a small wooden awning on the front. I am almost positive that was the old theater. It may well have operated with a 7707 address. If that’s the case, then it was demolished by the mid-late 1920s to be replaced by the current building.
