Christopher T. Bayley, Seattle Justice: The Rise and Fall of the Police Payoff System in Seattle (Seattle: Sasquatch Books, 2015), ch. 1 Id.<blockquote>In 1898, the theatrical impresario and entrepreneur John Considine decided to stay ahead of the competition by providing a better product. In his box houses, he separated the two professions of actress and prostitute, paying a higher wage to his entertainers who no longer circulated among the boxes.</blockquote>Id.January 17, 2016
