I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls - Jacqueline Wells - Bohemian Girl, 1936

Jacqueline Wells is so endearing here, but her lovely voice is dubbed by Rosina Lawrence. Michael William Balfe, composer, would probably not have enjoyed what happened to his opera, but one never knows! Either way, it's one of the more entertaining scenes; Ms. Wells is trilling about her exotic dream, "father" Oliver is blubbering, and "Uncle" Stan is just stuffing his face with all the breakfast on the table!

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Proud to be Irish!

@solsticecelt1 Me too! This one makes me want to dig further than ever before in those "Irish" roots! Thanks so much for your comment, and I'm wishing you well!

This is a great version of this old Irish air.. taken from the opera 'The Bohemian Girl. The plaintive orchestral accompaniment is hard to beat.'

[varadero1839]

@TheE8gisell Glad you enjoyed this! There is something about this melody, and the way it's performed, that really is uplifting! Thanks so much for your comment.

dont know wether to laugh or cry, haunting song but stan laurel is so funny, absolute classic, god wish i was around those days

[varadero1839]

@megapaulsimon fear we're in the same boat! I melt when I hear the song and the "singer," but seconds later could swallow my tongue laughing at Stanny! So happy to hear from you, and grateful that you enjoyed!

I never forget this always reminds me of my youth with Laurel and Hardy being chased across the Bridge by the Gorilla. The Music is haunting and Beautifull I believe the male singer's name was King.

@roadsweeper69 What a tribute! I'm really glad to hear from you! Some folks couch their comments in "double-speak." Sometimes, I'm guilty of the same thing. It's refreshing to hear someone just say their piece, no holds barred. I'm honored to hear from you, and thanks so much!
