According to the 1918-1919 City Directory, the Lyric Theatre was at 1132 Broadway, and Matthew McBride was the proprietor. The 1922 City Directory shows the Plaza Theatre at 1134 Broadway. William Seegirt is the manager.
Address was 1132 Broadway, which is the northwest corner of 12th and Broadway. Seating capacity: 586.
In July 1919 Venus Amusement Company, aka Bikos and Obreshk, took over the Lyric. In March 1920 W.J. Hall, owner of the Plaza in Lansing, MI, purchased the Lyric, “a burlesque and vaudeville house,” and proposed to spend [$50,000] to make it into a high-class moving-picture theater. Hall arranged to have a Photoplay organ installed to furnish music to patrons.
