“Exploring tensions between the Victorian values of middle-class Spokane theatergoers and the often bawdy variety entertainment venues that fueled the town’s economic engines, Holly George tells a story that illuminates the turn-of-the-century Pacific Northwest on several levels: theater history, cultural studies, the sociology of money and morality, Spokane’s geography as destiny, and influential personalities. Lively anecdotes and sociological data are seamlessly integrated in this fascinating study.”—Felicia Hardison Londré, author of The Enchanted Years of the Stage: Kansas City at the Crossroads of American Theater, 1870–1930
