Doing some Georgia research, and found this notice for the Bijou Theater, Decatur. Just thought it might interest some members.
ATTENDANCE BIG IN THE OPENING WEEK
Two Decatur Amateurs to Appear Regularly This Week.
Bill for the week
Francesca Redding & Co
Yaegel and Freund
Pero and Wilson
Will Sheridan
Martini and Maximillian
Wava Cummings
Bijoudrome.
The opening week at the Bijou theater was fully up to the expectation of the management, and even better. With the exception of one or two performances every seat in the house was taken twice a day.
Grace Yaegel and Leo Freund, who made a hit at the amateur performances last season, will be on the regular program this week.
Miss Wava Cummings will sing "I’m Dreaming Love of You" and "Only a Soldier’s Dream" this week.
COLORED MOVING PICTURES
A new thing in moving pictures will be a feature of the Bijoudrome this week. This will be hand colored effects, and will mark the first appearance of its kind in Decatur. “Tit for Tat” is the title of this feature picture. Others will be “The Love Letter,” “The Rival Brothers,” and “The Invincible Men.”
At the Thursday souvenir matinee the women will receive handsome shirtwaist sets and at the children’s matinee on Saturday each little girl will receive a pearl chain and the boys a giant pencil box filled.
