THE BIG BENEFIT.
Ida Hitchcock This Evening at the
Walker Opera House.

The entertainment which has kept tn,
public mind on the qui uiUe for the pas
two weeks will take place tonight at th'
Walker Opera House. No event which
has taken place recently has attracted
so much of the attention of the public al
has this public compliment to Ida Hitch
cock.
The little lady has an army OF friends
and every one of them has been fairly
won by her affability and personal mag
netism. We are therefore not surprised
that the whole community join together
in determined effort to make this the
biggest, as well as the best entertainment
of this season in Salt Lake.
The success of the affair, in both a
literary and musical point of view, is most
fully assured, judging from both the
quantity and the quality of the pro-
gramme which we publish below, and
with the talent and ability of the artists
who are to carry out the programme,
there can no longer any doubt exist as to
the fullest success of the affair from an
artistic standpoint
The number of reserved seats and adj
mission tickets already sold in advance
gives the surest evidence of the success of
the undertaking from a financial stand
point.
This cannot be less gratifying to the
little lady herself, together with her
! friends in the various orders, and all
over the city, then it is to the gentlemen
who have immediate charge of the mat
ter, and we congratulate the latter upon
the verificatiOn of their promise to the
public in the outset, through the columns
of the DEMOCRAT, that this should be the
best entertainment, from standpoint of
fine art, recently placed before Salt
Lake audience. We are all going, to-
gether with our friends.
