Arthur Rebner was a multifaceted composer, librettist, lyricist, and writer born on July 30, 1890, in Lemberg, Galicia, Austria-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine). He passed away on December 8, 1949, in Los Angeles, California, USA. Rebner's early life saw him relocate to Vienna, where he pursued studies in music from 1909 to 1914 at the University of Vienna under the tutelage of Guido Adler and Richard Wallaschek. His career blossomed as he began writing texts and music for songs and chansons, collaborating with notable composers like Robert Stolz.

Rebner's work extended to operettas and revues, with his first operetta cycle, "Leute von heute," debuting in 1918. He became a prominent figure in Berlin's cultural scene from 1924, contributing as a conférencier and revue author. His involvement in the film industry included writing for movies such as "Schuberts Frühlingstraum" (1931) and "Acht Mädels im Boot" (1932).

The rise of the Nazi regime in 1933 forced Rebner to leave Germany, prompting his return to Vienna, where he continued his work in operettas. The Anschluss in 1938 led to his emigration through Switzerland and France to Mexico, where he lived until 1947. Rebner eventually settled in the United States, residing in Hollywood and assembling the ensemble for the Ebell Wilshire Theatre in Los Angeles in 1948.

Rebner's legacy includes a diverse range of works, such as "Confetti," a revue for the Nelson-Theater Berlin, and numerous operettas like "Der heilige Ambrosius" and "Die tanzende Stadt." His contributions to music were significant, with recordings spanning from 1921 to 1934, showcasing his roles as both a lyricist and composer.
