The Indiana Historic Theatres Survey (pdf file) gives the Circle Theatre the aka Lyric Theatre, and gives the opening year as 1921.

There was an earlier Lyric Theatre, across the street. The February 17, 1911, issue of the Goshen Democrat said that the premises at 126 S. Main Street had been leased and would be converted into the Lyric Theatre, which was expected to open about March 15. The Lyric was occasionally mentioned in the theater industry trade publications over the next several years.

The May, 1925, issue of The Crimson, a monthly publication of Goshen High School, had an ad for “Ye Olde Hobbie Shoppe” which was “Opening Above Circle Theatre June 10.”
