Sawyer and Young opened the Lyceum Theater on 9 November 1903 in a small frame structure which was originally built as a school house. The auditorium of the Lyceum had a slanted floor with a seating capacity of 250, but “another fifty could be crowded in if necessary.” The Lyceum closed on 17 July 1910, with demolition beginning the next day, so that a new “thoroughly up-to-date show house” could open on the site in time for the next vaudeville season.
Two hundred opera chairs are to be ordered for the Star Theater and sloping floor made, a fine new stage made and the building enlarged and greatly improved.
