I am trying to find information about a famous singer- not sure of the spelling- Gali Gerci or Galli Gerchi. My m-i- l said she was famous in England (~ mid 1930's) and she recalls her father getting her mother a record of her singing Peer Gynt's "Solveig's Song". Can anyone help- at least w/ the correct spelling?

I am interested in 1930's America, specifically, the political climate of the time and the lives of hobos and workin' folk. What books, fiction or nonfiction, could you suggest to broaden my knowledge about this era?

Does anyone know if W.H.Audens "Orators an English Study" has been published as part of the larger collections of his work? The only editions I can find are out of my price range. [more inside]
