The text of this song, satirizing the dismal living conditions in low-income rentals, would be readily understood by the inhabitants of impoverished working-class districts in any of Poland’s small or big cities. But the conditions it lampooned were particularly familiar to the occupiers of Bałuty’s overcrowded tenements. As natives of Łódź who were closely associated with its cabaret circles, both the author and composer of this song, Mieczysław Miksne, and its performer, Bolesław Norski-Nożyca, were very well known to the residents of Łódź ‘s Jewish quarter.

He wrote song lyrics and skits for such cabarets as Momus and the legendary Qui pro Quo; he wrote vaudeville texts and operetta librettos; and when writing was not enough, he would step on the stage as actor or MC. Before World War I, Tom wrote for several newspapers in Łódź, and performed in the cabaret Bi-Ba-Bo; after the war, he directed and managed some of the most interesting cabarets in Warsaw. The breadth and depth of Tom’s understanding of his métier was such that he was invited to teach at the newly formed State Institute for Theater Arts. Tom became involved with film early on, in 1916. Throughout the 1930s, he wrote texts for some 40 Polish films. Cross-Atlantic film ventures also gave him the opportunity to address Yiddish-speaking audiences: his novella served as a model for Joseph Green’s screenplay for Yidl mitn Fidl; soon after, he wrote the screenplay for Green’s Mamele (1938). At the start of World War II, Tom found himself in Soviet Union. When the opportunity presented itself he joined the theatrical ensemble associated with the Polish Army in the USSR; and after 1942 he traveled in the Polish Army of General Anders, from the Middle East to Monte Cassino. After the war he settled in Los Angeles, where he took menial jobs in the film industry.","Lerski, Tomasz.

Once requests for song lyrics and skits started to pour in, he moved to Warsaw, where he worked with several revue theaters and cabarets, including the famous Qui pro Quo. In the last years before World War II, he contributed song lyrics and screenplays for some 20 films, including One Floor Up. His written dialogues, characterized by absurd sense of humor and distance towards conventions, are considered among the best of his generation. He continued his work in film after the war.","Lerski, Tomasz. Syrena Record: pierwsza polska wytwórnia fonograficzna; Poland’s first recording company, 1904-1939.

During the mid-thirties he was so popular that he could schedule solo programs. His recordings traveled with his listeners to Palestine and the USA. Norski-Nożyca performed parodies of well-known songs and songs composed especially for him (like Miksne’s “The Rent”). Of his humorous stage characters, the most beloved was the schlemiel, Jojne The Rifle (Jojne-karabin). In the beginning of World War II, he was forced into the Warsaw Ghetto, where he continued his musical activities until at least 1942. He was deported to the Budzyń camp and participated in musical performances there.","Lerski, Tomasz.

Other songs, like “The Rent,” responded with ridicule to harsh conditions of everyday life of the urban poor. Nothing is known about the circumstance of Miksne’s death.","Lerski, Tomasz.

In his short life he contributed hundreds of beautifully crafted, elegant, and formally innovative poems for popular songs. He started, while still in law school, by writing for cabaret theaters in his native Lwów. Later he moved to Warsaw and worked with a number of theatres, contributing texts (and sometimes music) for revues and cabaret songs, most notably for the fabled cabaret Qui pro Quo. Schlechter also dedicated much of his energies to cinema, writing lyrics and screenplays for many major Polish film productions. In fact, he helped to usher in a new era of musical film in Poland, by contributing the song lyrics to the first Polish sound-on-film production, Anybody Can Love. His title-song for this romantic musical comedy was an instant hit and remains familiar to Polish audiences till today. Likewise, his other hits, such as “Sex Appeal,” continue to be adopted by new generations of singers. Schechter also wrote and recorded Polish-language songs on Jewish themes. He was forced by the Nazis into the infamous Janowski camp in Lwów, where he died in 1942 or 43.","Maleszyńska, Joanna.

He wrote for cabaret, revue and film. Countless of his beautiful and memorable songs were destined to be come instant hits. Performed by the best singers of the time, these songs were loved and hummed by not just by audiences in interwar Poland, but also by their children and grandchildren. In the late 1920s Wars started to work as pianist and composer with revue theaters; from there he developed a relationship with the most important Polish recording company Syrena, for which he served as a musical director. He also organized several vocal groups, performing close-harmony in the style of The Revelers (one of these groups, the Wars Choir, included Aston and Faliszewski). By the beginning of the next decade, as the fist fully synchronized sound films appeared in Poland, he started to compose for film. He wrote music for 52 films. Among the dozens of his melodious and brilliantly fashioned tangos, shimmies, and foxtrots, were “Sex Appeal” and “Ah, How Pleasant It Is!” Wars volunteered in the Polish army during the 1920 war with the Soviets; in 1939 he again served in the military, was captured by the Germans and escaped from a transport. He reached the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland, and in 1941 became the director of musical ensembles associated with the Polish Army in the USSR; and after 1942 he traveled in the Polish Army of General Anders, from the Middle East to Monte Cassino. In 1944 he made the first recording (as the pianist for Adam Aston) of the song “The Red Poppies on Monte Cassino,” composed during the battle and destined to become one of the most cherished Polish war songs. After the war he left Poland for the United States. In Los Angeles, he was eventually able to rebuilt his career and write music for nearly 40 American movies.","Lerski, Tomasz.
