The Lyric Theatre was still open into the early-1970’s, but from January 21, 1972it began screening adult movies renamed Playmates Theatre. It occasionally screened regular movies and when that happened it operated as the Lyric Theatre. It was closed in May 1974.

The Lyric continued operating in and after 1952. It was still in operation as late as the early-1970s.
The McIntyre Opera House opened on December 22, 1903. After a refresh by new lessees, it reopened as the Lyric Theatre with movies on May 2, 1914.
On January 21, 1972, it offered X-Rated fare as the Playmates Theatre and occasional mainstream titles under the Lyric nameplate. As its second 30-year lease was coming due in May of 1974, a new twin-screen cinema was built opening in May of 1974 and the Lyric (with Playmates playdates) was closed permanently. It was offered for sale. BTW: It was a 220 1st Street.
Hey Dallas, I have a question for you. Out of the thousands of movie theaters across America, how many theaters in total, or which theaters do you know, went under two or more nameplates at the same time?
