This movie house was at 81 [[Escolta Street]], [[Binondo]]. An American, Frank Goulette, acquired this theater in 1916 and reopened it in 1917. In 1929 it was a 1,400-seat theater, with no air conditioning, and was considered to be the only first-class movie house in town. This Deco version of the theater had been designed by Fernando De la Cantera. It was reconstructed again as a [[Streamline Moderne]] building with the largest air-conditioning installation among Manila theaters, by Pablo Antonio and reopened on June 1, 1937, and was exclusively showing [[Warner Bros.]] films. In 1939, the Lyric was one of six movie houses in Manila which were considered to be "the most presentable and modernized sort," each of which seated about 1,200 patrons.[http://www.philstar.com/entertainment/2017/01/15/1662688/lyric-theater-escoltas-magnificent-landmark][http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/54977/photos] |
