The Lyric Theatre launched March 21, 1913 in Independent Order of Odd Fellows fraternal hall with live vaudeville. By 1919, the venue had switched to full time motion picture exhibition. The theatre closed on July 31, 1927 with Gilda Gray in “Cabaret" supported by Al Cook and Kit Guard in “Chin He Loved to Touch.”

The closing of the theatre uncovered stacks of 1910s movie advertisements and posters throughout the 1910s dating back to the first days of the theatre. The “New Theatre” (later Trail Theatre) opened on September 25, 1927 ostensibly replacing the Lyric.
