The Land of Smiles
In the 1920s, Löhner-Beda became one of the most sought-after librettists and lyricists in Vienna. Together with Lehár as composer, as co-author, and Richard Tauber as singer, Löhner-Beda produced the operettas "Friederike" ("Frederica", 1928), "Das Land des Lächelns" ("The Land of Smiles", 1929), and, with as co-author, "Giuditta" (1934). Together with his friend Alfred Grünwald as co-author and Paul Abraham as composer, Löhner-Beda produced "Viktoria und ihr Husar" ("Victoria and Her Hussar", 1930), "Die Blume von Hawaii" ("The Flower of Hawaii", 1931), and "Ball im Savoy" ("Ball at the Savoy", 1932).
