The following notice of the farewell
benefit given to Frank Hussey and Miss
Clifton, in Salt Lake City, we clip from
the News, of that place: 1.-THE joint ben
eft of Frank Hussey and Miss Blanche
Clifton at the theater last night was q
decided success. The audience was COM
posed of those who could appreciate the
rare talent displayed by the benefciaries.
The artistic personation of the Ethiopian
character by Mr.. Hussey, and his sing
ing, is such as has rarely been equalled
in our theater. Miss Clifton's rendition
of various national songs was charming
in the extreme and produced loud and
enthusiastic encores.''
