From October 1884 Bell was engaged at the Casino as Palmatica in a revival of The Beggar Student, by Carl Millöcker. The following March at the Casino, Bell was Ruth to her husband's Sergeant of Police in The Pirates of Penzance, and to positive reviews in the spring of 1886 Bell and her husband toured with McCaull's company in an English-language version of Millöcker's comic opera The Black Hussars (Der schwarze Husar). Later in 1886 the two toured with the same company in Don Caesar, possibly from Boucicault's play Don Caesar de Bazan; or, Love and Honor, and The Crowing Hen, from Edmond Audran's Le Serment d'Amour.The New York Times: "The Casino", 6 May 1883, p. 8; "Amusements", 25 November 1883, p. 15; "Amusements", 29 September 1884, p. 8; "The Casino", 10 March 1885, p. 5; "Col.
