By Carolyn Lamberson When Michael Lamonte opened the Bijou Theatre on Oct. 15. 1 OHO. he found it ad vantageous to be located near the University because of its built-in audience for the films he wanted to show. And now. after a couple of struggling years. tne increas ing popularity of small film theatres like the Bijou has en couraged l .a monte to expand. The addition of a second screen at the Bijou's 13th Avenue location will allow him to show two additional shows and give the audience a choice of films, he said The second screen, which seats 04 as compared to 120 in the older auditorium, opened Aug 21 and reception has been “fabulous,” he said Although late summer bet ween the University's sum mer and fall terms is not ex actly the best time to expect huge crowds, he added. "It gives me the opportuni ty to work out any bugs that still may exist" before a ma jority of the University's population returns this mouth. I^imonte said.

"I think it's a play that will have a very wide appeal tiecause it has a lot to do with how men bond in our society, like father-son and brother brother relationships.” There are seven performances of "Orphans."
