Orkiestra Henryka Golda (Henryk Gold’s Orchestra) – Ona robi to co ja [She Does What I Do], Muz. Kazimierz Oberfeld, Foxtrot z rewii “Publicznośc ma głos” (from the Morskie Oko revue “The Audience Has a Say”), Syrena 1927 (Polish accoustical recording) 

NOTE: In the exciting nightlife of prewar Warsaw, the grand-revue theatre Morskie Oko played the important role. It’s existence started in 1927, by presenting to the Warsaw picky  audience the dance-revue “Publiczność ma głos” (The Audience Has a Say) with such hits like a beautiful tango “Twoje smutne oczy” (Your Sad Eyes) written by one of the best prewar Polish tango composers Jakub Kagan or the fiery fox-trot “Ona robi to co ja” (She Does What I Do), which was dashingly sung and danced by the Halama Sisters: Loda, Zizi and Alicja.
 In the interwar period, they were the true darlings of Warsaw, with Loda steeply taking over the lead and becoming in the 1930s one of the brightest singing and dancing stage and film stars in Poland. In the age of 18, Loda married an aristocrat count Dembiński, whom she divorced two years later, giving place in her heart to four other husbands of her life. All three sisters survived the war, after which Loda emigrated to USA, Alicja to London, only Zizi stayed in Poland and having withdrew from the artistic life in 1950 she lived in a spa of Zakopane in theTatra mountains, until her death in 1975. 

Loda Halama’s dancing performances have been filmed several times, and fortunately we can see her today in the films ‘Prokurator Alicja Horn” (1933) or in a comedy “Manewry Miłosne” (The Love Manouvers, 1935) where in the company of Adam Aston, who is beautifully singing the Gypsy romance “How Difficult It’s To Forget”, she presents the hot csardas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDMiYYjA3tE. Her last film performance took place briefly before the outbreak of WW2 in a film drama  “Kłamstwo Krystyny” (The Krystyna’s Lie, 1939) - where in the bravura show she presents the new world dance madness, the Lambeth Walk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCgxqZ0NH7A .
