Cutler)1st theatre which opened June 28, 1906 at 23 N. Warren St. In 1909 it was moved, under the name “The New Bijou” to the Chestnut/Clinton location and managed by Russell Lamont.

I CAN RECALL AS A KID HOW MUCH WE WERE TAUGHT TO BE CLEAN AND HELP OUT AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. WE WENT IN AND OUT OF HOMES WITH UNLOCKED DOORS AND TREATED EVERYONE LIKE FAMILY.
