Looks similar to the 1914 photo.

This photo is probably from the mid or late teens:

I recently read that the Lyric was torn down in 1959.

I was reading an article about the Unique Theater in San Jose, opened by 20 year old Sid Grauman in 1903. Ticket taker and janitor was Roscoe Arbuckle. The theater was used for vaudeville and silent films, and was later wrecked in an earthquake. I don’t think we have this in the San Jose theaters. If I’m correct, I will go ahead and add it.

Minor correction: The Lyric’s final sign—a neon piece which succeeded the sign shown in the photo—was not a vertical, but rather a horozontal swing-out sign.
