The Lyric was opened in 1910, when the May 15 issue of The Nickelodeon ran this item: “LAURIUM, MICH. -The Lyric theater, the newest playhouse on the D. E. Rice circuit, recently opened on Hecla street, near Fourth, under the management of A. L. Cooley, which will be devoted to moving pictures, is said to be the most beautiful and roomy theater on the circuit, which includes Larium, Red Jacket, Mohawk and Negaunee. The theater was planned by the Decorators' Supply Company, Chicago, and the decorating was done by the Chicago Decorating Company, a branch of which is located in Larium.”

Here is an item about the Lyric Theatre from the October 1, 1921 issue of Moving Picture World:

“The Lyric Theatre of Laurium has been entirely remodelled [sic] and will be opened after having been closed for three years. This town is in the upper peninsula but has harbored only one theatre because of the closing of the copper mines. The opening of the mines, however, is an indication of increased prosperity in many of the upper cities of Michigan.”
