Opened as the Gem Theatre May 4, 1908. News Clipping enclosed. 1909 Sanborn Map included.

Reopened as the Lyric Theatre as reported in the Maysville Democrat December 21, 1910. ”The old Gem theater, situated on D street between Second and Third, which has been remodeled, will be thrown open to the public this evening at 7 p. m”. (as the Lyric Theatre)

Marysville Appeal Democrat, March 16, 1964: Lyric gutted by fire March 15, 1964. Never reopened.

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.
