1912 Berlin Operetta - Ja, das haben die Mädchen so gerne

Eugenie Della-Donna und Arnold Rieck - (Ja) Das haben die Mädchen so gerne (Yes, That's What the Girls Love) aus "Das Autoliebchen" (Musik: Jean Gilbert, Text: Alfred Schönfeld), Concert Record Gramophone, Berlin 1912

I did not find any information about Eugenie Della-Donna. Arnold Rieck was a popular Berlin vadeuville actor and singer, featuring on the stage or in film comedies in the 1920/30s.

NOTE: Jean GILBERT (born in Hamburg, 1879, died in Buenos Aires, 1942) - German operetta composer and conductor. His real name was Max Winterfeld. He adopted the name of Jean Gilbert for the production of his first operetta in 1901. Gilbert studied at the conservatories of Sondershausen and Weimar, as well as under Philipp Scharwenka in Berlin. His cousin was the composer Paul Dessau. Gilbert composed more than 50 operettas before and after World War I, working mainly in Berlin. His most successful works were "Die keusche Susanne" (A Virtuous Susanne) (1910), Puppchen (1912) with the hit song "Puppchen, du bist mein Augenstern" (You Are The Light Of My Eyes, Dolly) and "Das Autoliebchen" (1912) with "Ja, das haben die Mädchen so gerne" (Yes, That's What the Girls Love). In 1933, when the Nazis came to power Jean Gilbert emigrated to Argentina. His son Robert Gilbert (18991978) was also a composer.

This song has been reminded of by Marlene Dietrich in her album "Ja das haben die Mädchen so gerne" issued in 1960s.

Endlich weiss ich welches Lied mein Opa meiner Oma immer gesungen hat (zusammen mit "Püppchen, du bist mein Augenstern) nachdem er aus Berlin zurück nach Italien gekommen war. Meine Oma hat uns Enkelkinder immer ihre "veritalianisierte" Version gesungen...

Danke!

Great Song ! Lovely Pictures !

I didn`t know, it was that old !

Marlene Dietrich did a wonderful job, recording it again, in the the early sixties,

for her album "Berlin, Berlin" !

Thanks for posting !

A new composer for me...a real gem. But I'll leave it up to the imagination what "the girls love."
