On this 75th Anniversary of Elvis’s birth I wonder if he actually ever attended this theatre as a boy or performed on its stage. Anyone know?

A 1986 view of the Lyric Theater in Tupelo and a larger view here. Give Tupelo credit for saving the building, but they certainly did not do it justice with the ugly paint job.

A Robert-Morton theater organ was installed in the Strand Theater in 1928.

According to the Saenger website, this theater also used the name of Strand Theater. The names were Comus Theater, Strand Theater, Lyric Theater and now the Tupelo Community Theatre.

Built in 1912 it opened as the Comus Theatre. When the silent and then talkies came into the picture the theatre was acquired by the Saenger Thetres and was renamed the Strand. It must have later became part of the Malco Theatres and was renamed the Lyric. The actual street address for the Tupelo Community Arts Theatre is 200 North Broadway, Tupelo, Mi. 38804.
