Old is Jaime's, who is advertised as a woman

 I am watching ALL ABOUT EVE on TCM now. In the beginning, Celeste Holm gets out of a taxi in front of the theater where Eve is (Spoiler) fangirl-stalking Margo - BTW, I wonder if the theater with the fake okay Margo is in was a real B'Way theater the film took over - Perhaps when dark? - to set up the film's situation. - Anyway, Celeste is wearing a full-length fur coat (Mink?). She is of course the unemployed wife of a highly successful man and presumably can afford it.

But...since the wearing of fur coats (especially aside from " for warmth " outdoor coats) as a status/showing out item has come to be somewhat disapproved if in some quarters...(I am not looking to spark a discussion as to whether this is good or bad. Okay???:rolleyes:) This is a sign of things changing in (nearly) 70 years!:goodie: Any other examples of this you care to bring up? For another example, Eve receiving a long-distance phone call from California from her man is a very big production!

It seemed to be almost forgotten that " Bijou " used to be almost a synonym for a movie theater, with movie houses in general bring called ' Bijous " - Really, I think that writings about movies 50-60 years ago might refer to " neighborhood Bijous " or someduch to refer to movie theaters in general - especially " neighborhood theaters " in the pre+JAWS sense, I supposed
But it seems to be forgotten now as slang!:eek:

. fuI..morelly checked Wikipedia just now, and they, for instance, do not list ' Bijou " as a meaning for a movie theater, though they list various now- or formerly-existing theaters named Bijou...and Google found me, for three, presently existing thatters, in Mount Vernon, IA, Eugene, OR, and San Antonio, TX named " Bijou ":yikes:! More later.

....The Wiki piece on " Bijou " even refers you to this old " recreating an pre-TV era movie houses experience ' PBS series called " Evening At The Bijou " or similar but makes no reference TO the meaning describing a movie theater!:tsk: I found an OLD (2987) Straight Dope column where the concept of theaters being named " Bijou " is already an old thing the writer is asking about! IIRC, he says that some vaudeville promoters of the early Twentieth had a lot of vaudeville houses named " Bijou ', and, when many vaude houses were convert Ed to movie houses:rolleyes:...
There was something in a Doris Leading novel I remember relating to this by I'm not up to composing it (& putting it up in American/British Word Differences) now:kilroy:...
