Her singing career escalated in 1892 when "<a href="/wiki/Daddy_Wouldn%27t_Buy_Me_a_Bow_Wow" title="Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow Wow">Daddy Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow Wow</a>" became a huge hit. She sang it first at South London Palace, a music hall in Lambeth, and to high success on her first trip to the United States in 1892, when she appeared for eight weeks at <a href="/wiki/Tony_Pastor" title="Tony Pastor">Tony Pastor</a>'s theatre in New York City.<sup id="cite_ref-RAB_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RAB-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Vesta married twice, both marriages producing a daughter. She was married to music hall manager Frederick Wallace McAvoy from 1894 to 1904. They had a daughter, Irene. The marriage ended in divorce, because McAvoy was a cruel, abusive and adulterous husband.<sup id="cite_ref-Vic_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vic-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1912, Vesta announced in New York that she was married to William Terry. In 1913, the couple had a daughter, Iris. But the 1912 "marriage" may have been invented, as English records show that Vesta and William Terry were married in <a href="/wiki/Wandsworth" title="Wandsworth">Wandsworth</a> in 1920. In any event, the marriage ended in 1926, when Vesta filed for divorce on the grounds of "Ill-usage and association with other women".<sup id="cite_ref-Vic_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vic-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>One of the most highly paid <a href="/wiki/Vaudeville" title="Vaudeville">vaudeville</a> stars, Vesta bought a considerable amount of property in America.
