Meriden, ConnecticutPopulation (1925): unknown.
Report Meriden Theatre Errors or Omissions The moving picture proposition in Meriden, Conn., has proved so successful to the promoter, Archie L. Shepard, that he has decided to open another house on West Main street to relieve the pressure upon the one in Michaelis’ Block, where the Bijou is located. Mr. Shepard went from New York a week ago and arranged to lease the place formerly occupied as the Globe dry goods store, at 44 West Main street. William F. Slack, who is managing the Bijou, will be in charge of both houses. Mr. Shepard is largely interested in the moving picture proposition, probably more so than any other promoter in the country. He has theatres all over the country, as well as picture shows on the road and dramatic companies as well.
