Opened on February 24, 1907 as the Erber Theater. About six months later, the name was changed to the Majestic Theater. Around 1911-12 another Majestic Theater opened at 244 Collinsville Ave. That Majestic Theater would be the first of two Majestic Theaters located at 244 Collinsville Avenue. This Majestic Theater then became the Lyric Theater. It is listed as the Lyric Theater in 1924. In 1929 it was re-named the New Orpheum Theater, later Orpheum Theater, it was closed in 1941.
