Movies were shown in the opera house for a short time until a Michigan law was passed in 1915 forbidding the showing of movies in second floor theaters. Consequently, Julius Steinberg built the next to the opera house in 1916; the Lyric Theater was remodeled in 1950 and renamed the State Theatre, which is still active. Steinberg died on April 4, 1923, in Detroit after a short illness and was interred at the Machpelah Cemetery in Ferndale, Michigan. (en)
