In the 1930s the Swedish writer Amelie Posse Brazdova wrote a book entitled "Sardinia Side Show", where she told the complete story of 2 years she spent "interned" in Alghero old town during World War I. 
In America works by Svenning and Hellström appeared on the Columbia, Edison and Victor labels and were covered by such artists as Arvid Franzen, Lydia Hedberg, Eddie Jahrl, John Lager, Ingeborg Laudon, Eric Olson, Hjalmar Peterson and Charles G. Widdén. The song "Friarevalsen" (The suitor’s waltz) was given a second life when the producer Emil Norlander borrowed its melody for his revue "Tokiga Amelie" (Crazy Amelie). Norlander, who was a prolific songwriter, wrote new words for the song and called it "Balen på bakgården" (The dance in the back yard). In 1914 Svenning and Hellström wrote "Malmö valsen" (The Malmö waltz), also known as "På Baltiskan" (On the Baltic). The piece commemorated the Baltic Exhibition of 1914 that was held in Malmö, Sweden on the eve of the First World War. Hjalmar Peterson and his wife Olga Lindgren recorded the song in 1917 for Columbia Records. The same year Charles G. Widdén recorded "Sångvals" (Song waltz) for Victor Records. His recording was an adaptation of "Malmö valsen". It had Hellström’s melody, some of Svenning’s text and new lyrics that were partly in English.
