The Lyric Theatre was opened by 1931. It was closed on April 21, 1940 with Linda Darnell in “Stardust”. The newly built Rook Theatre replaced it.

Here is a recent street view of Cheyenne’s business area. If anyone knows which building was the Lyric Theatre, please point it out.

A history of the Rook Theater says that Bert an Elmer Rook built that house in 1939 to replace their Lyric Theatre. The 250-seat Lyric made its first appearance in the 1931 FDY. In 1929, Cheyenne had been home to the 175-seat Princess Theatre, and the town was not listed in the 1930 edition. I’ve been unable to discover if the Princess was enlarged, renamed and reopened or if the Lyric was a new house opened sometime in 1930.
Closed on April 21, 1940 with Linda Darnell in “Stardust” along with an unnamed comedy, due to the opening of the Rook Theatre.
