The Lyric Theater was located in the Welch Building on East Main Street.
No specific opening date is given, but it is listed in the Film Daily Yearbook, 1941 and possibly opened just prior to that in the late-1930’s. The original seating capcity is listed as 600, but this had been reduced to 505 as noted in the FDY, 1950.
On November 19th 1957 the Lyric Theater burned down after a furnace exploded.
It operated a policy of three different movies a week, plus cartoons.

This drawing looks very much like that of the Capitol Theatre in Bowling Green. I wonder if they had the same architect? The black glass and trim,and event the feel of the marquee.
Actually, the Lyric Theatre is not the only movie theater in Scottsville. There’s another theater I recently found called the Center Theatre, which operated into as late as either the 1970s or 1980s. I cannot find any information about it, but someone out there can figure it out.
