The Lyric Theater was a small, one screen movie theater located at the corner of Spruce and Northwest Fourth streets.  The movie that was showing at the Lyric Theater when this photograph was taken was Oh, for a Man!, which was released in 1930.  According to a few of the museum's visitors, in addition to showing movies inside, the Lyric would feature screenings on their roof during pleasant weather.
