Lyric Theatre

T.D. McMinn opened the original Lyric Theatre at 302-304 E. 1st Street in March of 1915 in the newly constructed Hanlin Building with the film, “Through Fire to Fortune”. The building is there today but McMinn opted for a new location.

McMinn launched the new Lyric Theatre opening on March 21, 1927 at 301 3rd Street SW. The $75,000 theatre opened as a silent house and in 1929 converted to sound. The Lyric Theatre appears to close December 22, 1950 when bookings and advertisements stop. The theatre was torn down for parking decades later.
