The Lyric Theatre closed on March 31, 1956 with Jean Simmons in “A Bullet Is Waiting” (unknown if extras added). Unfortunately, the Lyric building was almost destroyed by a fire after the neon lights on its marquee caught fire.

The Lyric Theatre opened its doors on June 12, 1920 with Wallace Reid in “The Valley Of The Giants” and Fatty Arbuckle in “The Butcher’s Boy” along with a light show and music by a six-piece orchestra. Otherwise, unknown if any extras added. It was first managed by John Bartholomew.

This is a modern view of Perkin’s commercial district. If anyone knows which building was the Lyric Theatre, please point it out.
