I was the projectionist (part-time high school job) here from 1964 to 1969. Many fond memories of the place, with its crying room, couches, and local sport of seeing how far you could roll an empty coke bottle towards the screen. We had a policy of refunding the tickets and sending people home if there were not more than five in the house by the time the shorts and previews were over (not enough to cover costs). The owner Sumner Johnson was an interesting character.
They are now digital and have the best bar & restaurant service in the area. A great theatre!
Comfortable and welcoming. Now serving wine and beer! Gone digital. I always visit the Lyric a few times when I’m in town.
