Correct; just allow me to add a little data, as I find this quite interesting:

This charity event was held by the sponsoring members' organization of the II. Sturmbann / 42nd SS-Standarte. (The members of the committee that organized the event are listed on page 9 of the booklet.)

The event took place on 24th February 1934 at the Kroll complex in Berlin; the box office was opened at 7 p.m., the performances started at 8 p.m. and the revels went on all through the night until 5 a.m. the next day.

Price for admission was 0.80 Reichsmarks (including tax), three tickets for the raffle cost 1.-- Reichsmarks and cloak check 0.30 Reichsmarks. Evening dress, by the way, was optional.

The evening started with a concert performance by the military band of the 42nd SS-Standarte with its bandmaster Alexander Fleßburg (a retired Navy bandmaster) personally conducting.

Then followed a variety program with a long lineup of various types of artists, some of whom were quite popular stars of the screen and stage at the time, like the comedian Ludwig Manfred Lommel, the actor Willy Fritsch or the actress Henny Porten. (The full lineup of performers is listed on pages 3, 5 and 7)

Finally, a dance event up until the early morning hours of the next day.

The pages not containing info on the event are for the most part filled with ads from a wide range of local companies (everything from clothing shoprs and cafes to grocers and tobacconists); then as now a common way to finance the printing cost for such booklets.
The booklet itself was printed by the printshop of one Harry Lehmann, himself a sponsoring member of the SS.
