The Bijou Theatre, later named The Odeon, may not have been open for much more than a year. Manager De Mott showed pictures using a “Cameraphone” on a cloth screen, a method criticized by his successors as “a failure as an attraction.” Higginbotham and Platt replaced the cloth screen with a fine plaster wall, “upon which the pictures will appear to much better effect.”
This morning, an incipient blaze in a vacant building of the Elberta theatre, called out the fire department which had little difficulty in putting out the fire.
