J. Schehrer looked up the Lyric Theatre in the 1941 Commerce City Directory, the address was 214 Commerce. Mr. Sschehrer also wrote that the building was demolished years ago.

J. Schehrer recently wrote to me saying;
“It seems to me like that there was a theater on the south side of Commerce Ave and it was right near where the old Black Cat Cafe was located. I am not sure about that since I lived at Miami back then."
This may have been the Lyric Theatre. If so, then the Electric Theatre was a completely different cinema.

Certianly I would agree that (with all those poster ads and boxoffice) this is indeed an image of an old movie house, but the closer view indicates the theatre name was Electric. Perhaps the Lyric & Electric were one and the same.
