Dorothy Gill

 * ... that contralto Dorothy Gill was so popular during the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company's visit to New York in 1934 that American fans petitioned for her return? Who Was Who in the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company "When the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company made its long-overdue return to New York in 1934, a book of tributes ("Nothing But Toffee") was written to the Company by adoring fans and dedicated to Miss Gill. When the Company returned to New York in the summer of 1936 with a new contralto (Evelyn Gardiner), the same fans organized and delivered a petition (with nearly 2,000 signatures) to Rupert D'Oyly Carte in London calling, in vain, for Dorothy Gill's return."
