no matinee today

The sign on the Lyric Theater appears to have regained its glow -- thanks to photoshop magic -- but the only life there is the pigeon perched atop it. Cinema Treasures had this to say:  The  “Lyric Theatre” in Carrizozo was built in 1916 as an Opera House; in 1918 the name changed to "Crystal Theatre”and began to show silent movies. When sound movies came along, it reopened with sound on June 13th,1931 and re-named “Lyric Theatre”.  It remained open until 1979 when it closed due to some rating dispute over the Exorcist .  I don't know about demons but the place surely has ghosts!
