The Well of Loneliness
In the late 1920s Radclyffe Hall drew a crowd after her novel "The Well of Loneliness" had been banned in the UK. A reading by poet Edna St. Vincent Millay packed the salon in 1932. At another Friday salon in the 1930s Virgil Thomson sang from "Four Saints in Three Acts", an opera based on a libretto by Gertrude Stein.
