Berlin, 1930.

Margaret "Grete" Mosheim (Berlin, 8 January 1905 - NYC, 29 December 1986) was a German film, theatre and television actress of Hungarian Jewish ancestry.
She started her acting career at the age of 17 and was a member of Deutsches Theater, Berlin from 1922 to 1931. She began studying at Max Reinhardt's School of Drama under Berthold Held in early 1922, alongside Marlene Dietrich. She and Dietrich discovered they had both had affairs with Held, and became close friends.

Grete Mosheim became established under Max Reinhardt, and he gave her the chance to substitute in the American play "The Speaking Ape" when the female lead became ill. Mosheim learned the difficult role from Albert Bassermann in just 24 hours and became a superstar almost overnight. Until 1933, when she went to London to escape Adolf Hitler's rise to power, she was pre-eminent in the Berlin theatre scene. She appeared in a wide variety of roles, being equally at home in drama and comedy. After intensive study, she mastered English well enough to appear in "Two Share a Dwelling" in London in 1934. She appeared again on stage in Germany in 1952, but did not return to films until her appearance as the grandmother in "Moritz, Dear Moritz" in 1978.
Mosheim appeared in numerous German films, mostly silent movies, starting with "Michael" in 1924. Until she fled Germany in 1933, she starred in many important films, including "Dreyfus" (1930) and "Yorck" (1931)

She was my aunt, my uncle (by marriage) Mosheim's eldest sister. I met her in 1974. They lived thousands of miles apart. I purchased a dvd of a film of hers from 1935 (in English) entitled "Car of Dreams", a very gay (30's 'gay'), light-hearted, borderline "fluff" musical film. I will attempt to upload some scenes from it in the future. Thank you for posting this recording of hers.

@074523 Rough english translation of the lyrics part 2:

A little longing is what everyone needs to be happy

A little longing, a little piece of sunshine

A little longing, to get through the gray days

A little longing, and it doesn't even matter what for

A little longing,

A fleeting figment of the imagination

A little longing that will never come true

@074523 Rough english translation of the lyrics part 1: Your day is gray and so is mine So let us walk (get) together We will hold each other by the hand and get along cozily The road is long The road is difficult But surely there will be a reward We will think hard of good things And of a castle on the Moon

@074523 German lyrics part 2: Eine kleine Sehnsucht Ein flüchtiges Traumgesicht Eine Sehnsucht die sich niemals erfüllt Lügen wir uns, trügen wir uns In eine Welt hinein Und lass uns dann in dieser Welt ganz verzaubert Prinz und Prinzessin sein Du bist aus Gold, ich bin aus Gold Und unser Tag ist froh Vergessen der Student im Dachstübchen Und das Mädelchen vom Büro

German lyrics part 1: Mein Tag ist grau, dein Tag ist grau Laß uns zusammengehen! Wir wollen beide an den Händen uns fassen Und uns so recht verstehn! Lang ist der Weg, Bang ist der Weg, Sicher wird man belohnt Wir wollen recht fest an etwas schönes denken Und an ein Schloss im Mond! Eine kleine Sehnnsucht Braucht jeder zum Glücklichsein Eine kleine Sehnsucht Ein Stückchen Sonnenschein Eine Sehnsucht für den grauen Tag Eine Sehnsucht ganz egal wonach
