When this cabaret closed, Hanka Ordonówna moved to Warsaw and worked at the cabaret Miraż, where she was noticed by Fryderyk Jarosy, director of the Warsaw cabaret Qui Pro Quo; it was under his guidance that she became a star, recording "Miłość ci wszystko wybaczy" (song by Henryk Wars and Julian Tuwim) in the 1933 movie Szpieg w masce (Spy with a Mask). Another hit was Marian Hemar's Jakieś małe nic ("Some Little Nothing"), 1934.

In 1931, she married Count Michał Tyszkiewicz, who wrote many of her songs. Though a countess, she continued to perform in cabaret and even ride a horse in a circus revue. She developed lung disease, which plagued her for the rest of her life. She died in 1950 in Beirut.[1]
