This theatre opened in 1910 and appears on the February 1913 Sanborn, in a two story brick fraternal building that was constructed between 1899 and 1907 (likely for the Odd Fellows, given the design on the top). The 1907 map shows a general store here.
It was renamed Lyric Theatre in 1913 and is listed in the American Motion Picture Directory.

The Odd Fellows building was constructed in 1900. I believe that the Majestic became the first Lyric in 1913, and closed in 1928, when this building became a hatchery. This is based off information in the NRHP listing for downtown. The Lyric then moved one door to the east, into a smaller building. The 1926 listings show the Lyric with 260 seats, so the capacity somehow increased in the new building.
