Looks like the last time it
Looks like the last time it was advertised as the "Bijou Scenic Theatre" was Saturday 5th June 1915. By Monday 7th June 1915 onwards it was advertised as the "Bijou Theatre" although I note since February 1914 it has been called the Bijou Theatre in the papers but adverts still used the older name Bijou Scenic Theatre concurrently as well.
