Bijou Theatre

The October 30, 1908 issue of Moving Picture World has a brief item that might or might not be about this house: “… Charles City, Ia.-A. C. Tingerich and Oren Masters have sold their little playhouse, the Bijou, to J. A. Farrell, who has appointed A. T. Prescott to manage same.” I haven’t found any later references to the Bijou, or Messers Tingerich or Masters. Other J. A. Farrells referenced appear to be different guys, with no connections to Charles City. The only theaters listed at Charles City in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory are called the Gem and the Lyric.
