It must be “long” lost. I was an avid moviegoer in Fresno from 1953-1969, and this theater was already history at that point.
From the Fresno Bee, 12/13/45:
A fire which started when some film broke in the projection machine in the Lyceum Theater at 1017 F Street early this afternoon, caused damage estimated at $20.
$20 damage shouldn’t even be in the newspaper. It must have been a slow news day.
I’ve found a mention of the Lyceum in the October 15, 1949, issue of Boxoffice. The house had won a minor prize for its performance in a charity fund-raising competition the magazine had been running.
If would be nice if they won $20 to cover the cost of the fire damage. :)
That’s a good one.
Oddly enough, they won a Ronson pocket lighter.
Check those articles for another fire in 1949.
