The Lyric Theater
It was originally operated as a silent movie theater located on the West
side of the square and owned by DE and Lulu Fitton. In 1929 JW Bass
built a state of the art theater for talkies, leasing it back to the Fittons as
the "New" Lyric. A mix of styles ranges from the brick terra cotta facade
and entry to the Art Deco marquee & ticket booth. Admission was $.10
for adults and $.05 for children. It opened with "Broadway", the 1st
$1 million grossing film & remained open until 1977. The carpet in the
lobby is over 55 years old! The theater houses the famous hobo art murals.
The refurbished Lyric is now operated by the Ozark Arts Council.
