An ink drawing from 1916 shows two Jersey City entertainment venues, B.F. Keith's vaudeville house and the Bijou Dream theater, and its signage advertises a Mary Pickford film, *The Pride of the Clan*. The pairing captures a moment when live variety acts and motion pictures competed for the same audiences in one city. Keith's circuit was known for polished vaudeville in the early 1900s, while the Bijou Dream reflects how quickly movie houses multiplied in American cities during the 1910s. The Library of Congress holds the drawing among its architectural and engineering records, which makes it a rare document of how these buildings were presented to the public.
