The Lyric Theatre opened around 1905 as the Idle Hour Theatre. The Idle Hour Theatre was remodeled in 1916 and the name was changed to the Lyric Theatre.
The finding aid for the Liebenberg & Kaplan papers indicates that the firm did work on the Lyric Theatre in Watertown in 1931, 1935, and 1937. The extent of the projects is not given.
The Lyric was mentioned in the March 30, 1918, issue of Motography. It was then being operated by a firm called McCarthy Brothers, who also had the Rialto and Lyric Theatres in Aberdeen and had just purchased the Grand Theatre in Grand forks.
