For the housebound everywhere, I'll post a daily (or so) episode of me reading from Pacific Northwest history books that I like. In Episode 17, the seventeenth installment of "Skid Road: An Informal Portrait of Seattle" by Murray Morgan, published by Viking Press, New York, in 1951. We continue with the section about John Considine and live entertainment in Seattle circa 1900, and the rise of rival Alexander Pantages.
