The Lyric Theatre suffered destruction from a fire twice. The first fire happened on December 23, 1939. It was rebuilt and reopened on August 22, 1940, and the second fire happened on November 19, 1957 when a furnace exploded which ended its life.
The Lyric Theatre opened its doors on November 21, 1934 with Gene Raymond in “Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round” (unknown if extras added).
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.
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.
