The Lyric Theatre opened as early as 1919 and closed in February 1958. The theater was then taken over by the husband-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. W.W. Bell of Eureka, California, and the former Lyric reopened as the Maribel Theatre on July 11, 1958 with “Crash Landing” and “The Hard Man” (unknown if any extras added). It was then renamed the Ironside Theatre on June 22, 1961, and was still open in 1966.
On December 2, 1945, the Lyric Theatre suffered minor damage from a fire after its projector was jammed during a showing of “The Corn Is Green” alongside a Fox Movietone Newsreel and a few short subjects. Despite no injuries nor destruction, the fire only destroyed half of its film. The Lyric reopened the following day.
