The Iris might have been partly built on the site of a smaller house called the Lyric Theatre, which opened at 17 S. Main Street by 1911 and burned down in June, 1915. The Lyric appears on the April 1911 Sanborn map of Sapulpa, and its burned out site is noted on the August, 1915 map. Unfortunately, no later Sanborn maps of the town are available online.
One of the many transfers of the St Denis was noted in the August 2, 1919 Moving Picture World: “J. H. (Speedy) Molder, proprietor of theatres in Northern Oklahoma, has leased his St. Denis Theatre at Sapulpa to Miss M. A. Arnold.”
