Jim Bowen, of the Orient Theatre,
is in receipt of copy of the Chicago
Saturday Telegraph, containing a pic
ture and the following comment on a
modest, retiring man holding down
the offices of secretary and treasurer
of the Affiliated Booking company
who is little heard of outside the pre-
cincts of his own office, but who is a
power, nevertheless. This man, who
has earned the soubriquet of noisy

of the powers behind the throne of
this big concern. 1t is through such
men as this that the necessary f.
nances are obtained to run such insti-
buttons. Such men as he are funds
of information, and those about him
turn to him at every stage of the
game. Mr. Kissick was secretary and
treasurer of the Sullivan Considine
circuit for a humber of years, and
when the Affiliated was started, he
was asked to membership with the
new company with his old Offices
thrown in. Mr.. Kissick is a native

under the shell of his shyness."
