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.

More about the 'Bye Joe'

The first photo clearly shows that the Normal Theater is a preserved theater near the downtown area.  This would correspond with the Bijou as it was downtown.

The last photo shows a good part of the street.  It was on this street or the one next to it where The Greek's Confectionery was.  The courthouse may be right behind the theater, or certainly this is what we have been led to believe.

The 'Bye Joe'

Virginia Avenue is in Normal, not Bloomington (the two towns are "twin cities" and are known as such.)

Normal has only one old movie theater, the Normal Theater, above.

Therefore, is this the Bijou?
