"Leopoldi Brings a Breath of the Gay Past to Detroit". Heute vor 84 Jahren berichtet die Detroit Free Press (28 September 1942) über einen Auftritt des von den Nazis in die USA vertriebenen Entertainers Hermann Leopoldi und seiner kongenialen Partnerin Helly Möslein.

"He is a man of immense vitality and of overflowing good humor who has an amazing facility at the piano keyboard, The big concert grand which he used was an inseparable part of his performance as Chaplin's famous stick was of his. He used it, not only to play very excellent Strauss waltzes, but to point a witty passage. It was like a plaything in
his hands.
The songs he sang were mainly in the Viennese dialect, which bears to high German somewhat the relation that Scottish does to English. Even those who had little knowledge of the language found huge enjoyment in the songs, for Leopoldi has the ability to speak and sing universally."
