Chór Dana – Marzenie, Tango z filmu „Rewia Hollywoodu” (from Film „The Hollywood Revue”) Muz. Henryk Wars, Tekst: Andrzej Włast, Odeon 1930 (Polish) NOTE: It’s one of the most successful songs written by renowned Polish composer Henryk Wars. Originally written for the grande vedette Hanka Ordonówna, it was presented by her in the lost Polish musical movie “Rewia Hollywoodu” (The Hollywood Revue;1930) where several best Polish stage artists were invited to perform their numbers. Recorded later by Chór Dana, the tune became a great hit of the early 1930s. Its lovely, meandering melody creates a melancholic, dreamy atmosphere, to which as an adequate component I selected also very dreamy and fairytale-like photographs of the city of Wilno (- one of the most beautiful prewar Polish cities; now the capital of the Lithuanian Republic), made in the 1920s/30s by the master of Polish photography, Jan Bułhak.
