Review: New-York Times, 08 May 1865.

     “Mlle. Helene de Katow and Mr. James M. Welhi had a matinee at Irving Hall under similar depressing influences.  The weather, however, had no effect on the skill of the artists.  Mr. Wehli played very finely and was received with great warmth by the audience.”
