[edit]http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/58485 says this was at Second and Madison, but I think they were thrown by the sign that says, "Owned and operated by the Circuit Theatre Co., Second Ave. and Madison St." Notices in the Seattle Times c. 1909 say it was on Third Avenue between Pike and Union; I haven't yet found one with a specific address, but that looks to me like the Liberty Building, now long gone, but at the time it was at the northeast corner of Third and Union and extended quite a ways up Third. - Jmabel ! talk 00:01, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Here's one of the Times clippings (requires login to Seattle Public Library): https://public-maximus-newsbank-com.ezproxy.spl.org/images/L00000004/cache/snippets/sn_highlight_FFFF80_12807FF244217050_2617_5909_693_65_20_150_350.png. That dates from 1909. - Jmabel ! talk 00:07, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
