Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 October 1907 — The Closing of the Bijou. [ARTICLE]

The Closing of the Bijou.

The Bijou Theatre, which has been stationed here for the past five weeks giving nightly moving picttssand illustrated song performances, exhibited Saturday for the last time, and the prorietors have left here for the state of lowa. The business has been under the management of Mills & Jenkins, the former being R. G- Mills, son of the county auditor of Hendricks county, Ind., and his partner being Miss Millie B. Jenkins, of Ladoga. They were mighty pleasant little people* being hustlers for business and giving clean, refined shows, having refused to consider any moving film that had any suggestion of impropriety. There is hardly enough business here for a moving picture business to be really profitable, but many evenings the theatre would be crowded at_ four or five performances. Mills & Jenkins have our well wishes wherever they may locate. t
