Performance Notes"LONDON ITALIANS ACCLAIM GIGLI.
A NIGHT OF ENCORING.
...Gigli was due to sing ten items. By the time the evening was over he had sung twice as many at the audience's demand. When he left he was mobbed both inside and outside the hall. Several autograph hunters travelled for some distance on the running board of his car as he was driven away."
(The Daily Telegraph, 30 May 1934)
