Review: New York Clipper, 04 February 1865, 342, 2d col., bottom.
“Heller’s present programme is thought to be the best he has yet given us, and we don’t know but what it is. However, tastes differ, and it is best for all who enjoyed his previous bills of fare to visit the Salle Diabolique again, and judge of the truth of this assertion. Go early, and stay as late as you can.”

Review: New York Herald, 06 February 1865, 5.
“Heller is always fresh. His novelty . . . never flags. . . . The attraction to his diabolical saloon induces people to pay a premature visit to a region to which they are generally inclined to decline an introduction for so long a time as possible. However, the concord of sweet sounds which Heller produces in his three piano solos—like the song of the siren, allures not to destruction, but to a delightful evening’s entertainment.”
