The Library of Congress record for this photograph identifies the building as the Lyric Theater in Cambridge, a small city in Guernsey County in eastern Ohio, and dates the print to somewhere between 1910 and 1950. That span covers the rise of the motion picture house in American towns of this size. Theaters with names like Lyric, Opera House, or Strand often showed silent films, vaudeville acts, and later sound pictures, making them the main evening entertainment for local residents. Their storefronts and signs were built to draw passersby off the street.
