A history of the Rook Theater says that Bert an Elmer Rook built that house in 1939 to replace their Lyric Theatre. The 250-seat Lyric made its first appearance in the 1931 FDY. In 1929, Cheyenne had been home to the 175-seat Princess Theatre, and the town was not listed in the 1930 edition. I’ve been unable to discover if the Princess was enlarged, renamed and reopened or if the Lyric was a new house opened sometime in 1930.

Here is a recent street view of Cheyenne’s business area. If anyone knows which building was the Lyric Theatre, please point it out.
