“The beautiful Cubas, with her corps de ballet, will produce the military spectacle, ‘The French Spy.’ Cubas has the pantomime part, and introduces several dances. She is the best danseuse we have had in this country for several years, and is said to be equally great in pantomime.”

Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 13 January 1863, 3.
“[T]he famous Spanish dancer, Isabel Cubas, sustained her triple pantomimic part with the same grace and vivacity which have already secured for her a worthy reputation. Her success, also, was unquestionable.”

Review: New York Herald, 19 January 1863, 2.
“[T]he programme for the past week has drawn such excellent houses that it will be repeated without change. . . . Cubas has already moved the town by her wonderful dancing, but her pantomime is no less graceful and attractive.”
