■ Ditch the mall movie scene
and view a flick from atop a
balcony seat or an old church
By Kristina Johnson
Oregon Daily Emerald
It’s Saturday night, and you’ve
only got S3 to spare. If you think
the only culture you’re going to
see is growing in the bottom of
your can of Pabst, think again.
For that S3, you can catch a late
show at the Bijou Art Cinemas,
also known as “the best little art
house between Seattle and San
Francisco.”
The Bijou, located at 492 East
13th Ave., usually shows inde

a certain strain of blockbuster fare
(read: “Gladiator”) occasionally
finds its way onto one of the two

enormous butter-colored Spanish
mission, which was designed in
1925 by the first dean of the Uni

and the building remained vacant
for several years, until owner
Michael Lamont decided to turn it
into a movie house. In the 20 years
since, the Bijou’s legend has
grown.

haunted,” said Dana Krizan, who
has managed the theater for al
most 10 years. “The biggest story
would have to be the Spoon
Ghost.”
' Spoons have inexplicably fallen
on several occasions from places
where no spoon would ever be,
Krizan said.
“Once, 1 wasn’t there, but I
walked in right after it happened,
and I saw the expressions on peo
ple's faces after the spoon fell,” he
said. “It would had to have
jumped two or three feet off the
shelf to land where it did. Anoth
