I’m pretty sure this was the Lyric Theatre, the first of two with that name in Sac City.
An item in the January 22, 1910 issue of The Film Index mentioned that A. Engle Had purchased the interests of H. L. Arney in the Lyric Theatre in Sac City and was now its manager.
This theatre would have closed in the Fall of 1911, when Engle and his wife opened their new house, also called the Lyric. This was reported in the November, 1911 issue of Motography as “recently opened” and mentioned it was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Engle. This new venue was most likely located up the street, at 601 W. Main Street.
An item in the April 3, 1909 issue of Moving Picture World might have been about this house, but unfortunately gives no name for it. “Sac City, Ia.-Harry Arney has purchased a moving picture theater here, and has taken possession.” The only other mention of Harry Arney I’ve found is from 1900 and notes that his business was then real estate and insurance.
