This house might have become the Lyric as early as 1908. The house at 118 W. 2nd Street that became the Crescent Theatre in 1914 had previously housed the Crystal Theatre since 1908, and prior to that had been the location of a Lyric Theatre. I don’t have proof that the Lyric listed at 511 Main in the 1914-1915 AMPD was the same Lyric that had operated at 118 W. 2nd until 1908, but it’s definitely a possibility.

A September 28, 1907 New York Clipper advertisement for the O. T. Crawford Film Exchange Co., headquartered in the Gayety Theatre, St. Louis, listed a house called the Orpheum Theatre, at 511 S. Main Street, Little Rock, as a branch exchange.
