Review: New York Clipper, 09 September 1864, 190.
“Would you hear the sound of the spirit-stirring drum, minus the car-piercing fife? Go to Heller’s. Would you enjoy the dulcet strains of the pianissimo fortissimo, classically speaking? Go to Heller’s Salle Diaboliquelum. Would you see mystery, magic, and the marvelous? Still go to Heller’s. In fact, the Salle Diabolique is a right enjoyable place, where you can spend a couple of hours with as much pleasure as if you were eating your way through a Sea of Ice-cream. Besides all this, you have the satisfaction of seeing the ‘Entrepeneus of the Anthropoglosi,’ which, in itself, is worth the price of admission.”
