In 1912 one John F. Roach was the manager of this first Lyric.
Brow Street used to run from 38 Warren Avenue to 31 Waterman Avenue. Now the portion between Warren Avenue and Taunton Avenue no longer exists because of Rte. 195 and a group of criss-crossing highway ramps near the end of Washington Bridge at what was Watchemoket Square at one time.

A 1913 city directory gives it as 34 Brow Street; a 1919 edition says 12 Brow Street. Well, at least I know it existed on Brow Street…a now truncated street. I wonder if anyone associated with this theatre was responsible for the emergence of the later Lyric in the Riverside neighborhood.
