The Lyric Theatre was opened by 1914, located on City Square. It was listed as (Closed) in the 1941-1943 editions of Film Daily Yearbook, and was still listed in the 1950-edition, but without a seating capacity given.
However it has been noted on the Vernon Theatre page on Cinema Treasures, that the Vernon Theatre was built on the site of the Lyric Theatre.

Being listed as closed in the 1941-43 FDY is appropriate since the Vernon, built on this site, opened in 1938. Any sort of listing in the 1950 edition was surprising. Question would be if the Vernon were listed in the 1950 edition or the 1941-43 one.

As the house that opened as the Vernon theatre was reported to be under construction in the April 9, 1938 issue of Film Daily, the Lyric had to have been closed and demolished by early 1938 or maybe late 1937. The editors of Film Daily’s Year Books were not very good at keeping their lists up-to-date, though that might have been at least partly the fault of the theater owners, who certainly had the option of informing the publishers of any changes.
