Four theaters occupied the space at 604 S. Walnut Street: Colonial, Lyric, Princess and Luther Day. In August 1912 the Luther Day Company sold the two “Edison moving picture machines, very cheap” and converted the space into a retail store. In September 1912 the space became The Luther Day Company jewelry store and photo studio. The store closed on 6/30/1914, and its equipment was offered for sale the next month. In 1916 William O’Meara applied for a liquor license with plans to open a saloon at 604 S. Walnut.

The Lyric Theater in 1914-1915 was the one at 204 South Walnut. And the Lyric at 12 S. Mulberry Street in 1914-1915 turns out to be the Lyric Airdome Theater operated by the same people who ran the Lyric Theater.
