Remodel Cincinnatti House
The Lyric theatre, which has been operating since the close of the theatrical season as a picture house, will be closed in a few weeks for remodeling, according to an announcement by McMahan and Jackson, who have purchased the property. When the house reopens late in August or early in September it will feature Pantages vaudeville and first-run pictures. A new marquee will be erected across the front of the building, a contract having been let for the erection of a large and elaborate electric sign with the daylight lighting system, and artists have been engaged to redecorate the interior of the theater. New chairs, carpets and scenery will replace the old furnishings, and arrangements have been made to install a large organ. A new ventilating and heating system will be installed, and the lighting system of the theatre will be entirely gone over, so that the remodeling process will make of it practically a new house. — Adams.
