The Lyric Theatre was listed at 220 S. El Paso Street in a 1914 city directory, but was not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. It isn’t listed (at least under the name Lyric) in the 1926 FDY either, and I suspect that the Lyric operated primarily as a legitimate house, though I haven’t found it in any Cahn guides so far. I did find a December 28, 1906 ad for an opera company appearing at the Lyric.
A good description of The Crawford is in Cynthia Farah Haines' “Showtime! From Opera Houses to Picture Palaces in El Paso (Texas Western Press, 2006).
