TulsaHistory commented about Lyric Theatre on Jul 5, 2008 at 3:41 pm

The Lynch Brothers built their store in the late 1800s. It changed hands a time or two and then Bob Stephens bought the building, auctioned off the groceries and put in the Lyric Theatre, one of the first nickelodeon types. The fire if 1897 destroyed the adjoining Bank but not the Lynch store. The Lynch brothers sister and brother-in-law ran the ice cream store.
FYI the 1885 photo of Jack Marris'Famous Variety Show is not in Tulsa, OK.
