Air-conditioning at the 'Bye Joe'

Here's an article about the 75th anniversary of the Normal Theater (it opened in 1937.)

It states in the article that the theater had the rare luxury of air-conditioning.

Air-conditioning of the Bijou (or at least, the premise of a cool theater) is mentioned by Vic in the 1944 episode, Mr. Gumpox Has Lost His Dentures.
