“Heller’s Salle Diabolique continues to be one of the principal places of amusements on Broadway. Mr. Heller performed to most excellent houses last week. His last new act of the ‘Red Demon’ has made quite a sensation, and casts in the shade the ‘wonderful spiritual’ business of the Davenports.  Heller on the piano and Sedgewick’s concertina solos are two of the brightest features of the entertainment.”
