The California Index contains a card citing an article in Motion Picture Herald, issue of September 1936, which says that Edwin Atkins had plans for remodeling the Lyric Theatre in Marysville.

About 1920, the former Marysville Theatre, one block south of the Lyric, had been operating under the name Atkins Theatre. Same guy, perhaps? The site of the Atkins Theatre eventually became the site of the Tower Theatre.
