The correct title of this composition is "Serenade Chinoise". It is was  recorded  in the thirties by Marek Weber and his irchestra. It is a foxtrot. It was popular all over DEurope.  Melodija (Noginskij zavod) produced  a pirate (?) version  in Soviet-Russia. (78 rpm/ 25cm. From time to time is is offered for sale on the Russian internet. Foxtrot seems complety accepted in the Soviet union before the war.
