The Lyric Theatre opened its doors on November 7, 1928 with Joan Crawford in “Our Dancing Daughters” (unknown if extras added), and was first owned by J.L. Galbreath. The Lyric Theatre closed for the final time on October 16, 1951 with “Francis Goes To The Races” along with an unnamed cartoon and a newsreel when the Crest Theatre opened nearby the following day.

The Lyric first went under the name “Gilbreth’s Lyric Theatre” but the Gilbreth’s name was removed shortly after launch.
