Opened on October 24th, 1927. Ad posted. Kenmore Theatre opening 22 Oct 1927, Sat The Hamilton Spectator (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) Newspapers.com
While I wish the owner of this building well, in their desire to reopen the former Kenmore Theatre as a live performance venue, I do wish that they had not used the name “Lyric Theatre” to describe it.
The Lyric Theatre, later renamed the Century Theatre, stood between August 1913 and January 2010, on Mary Street. It had a rich theatrical history, with performers like the Marx Brothers on its large stage, in September 1919.
Now, when one googles “Lyric Theatre, Hamilton, Ontario”, you get this building, which has had a rather short history, mostly as a small neighborhood cinema, compared with the 1800 seat Keith / Albee circuit vaudeville house, downtown.
I don’t think it’s open anymore.It’s seems boarded off
