Editorial content. THE PASSING OF THE BIJOU.
After Ten Years of Prosperity, Buffalo‘s Popular Little
Theater Gives Place to New Building
ROBERT H. TIFFT, head of the Tifft Theater Corporation,
was the last owner of the Bijou Dream, one of the first
picture shows in Buffalo, located at Main and North Division
streets.“ (...)
„,On the advice of John Oishei, manager of the Teck
theater, Buffalo, a Shubert house,‘ said Mr. Tifft,
,we enlarged the lobby, and replaced the ,circus front‘ with
dignified decorations. Mr. Oishei sent me Harry Byrne,
of the Teck theater, and under Mr. Byrne‘s management the
Bijou was put on its feet. We had fourteen shows
a day, from 9 o‘clock in the morning up to 11 o‘clock at night.
,We sold tickets up to 10.45 in the evening, and
had regular patrons who came at 9 o‘clock in the morning.
Between that hour and 10 o‘clock in the evening
we seldom had less than 100 persons in the house. The
building is only 25 feet by 70 feet, and no person
in the audience could get more than twenty-five feet from an exit. Despite the millions who visited the Bijou, the crowds
were always well handled, and I am glad to say no serious
mishap ever marred the success of the theater. During
the past year the Bijou was known as a Chaplin house because
we featured a Chaplin picture every day.“ (...) „J. A. McGuire.“
