Review: New York Clipper, 09 July 1864, 102.
“Vestvali, who has successfully carried through the new drama of ‘Bel Demonio,’ completes her engagement  July 2d.  Without the valuable assistance of this lady in the cast, it is not probable that ‘Bel Demonio’ would have held the stage as long as it has.”
