The musical work of the Banská Bystrica composer and hotelier Ján Móry is currently unjustly forgotten. At the time of his peak work (1930s and 1940s), his works were performed throughout Czechoslovakia. However, after World War II (also due to persecutions during communism), his work fell out of favor. Móry created excellent opuses, especially in the field of operetta production. Among his most successful works is the operetta Miss Widow , which was also performed under the titles of His Three Widows , Douglas and His Wives and Die verte von rechts .

Móry was a personal foundation of lyrics, preferring pleasant melodic lines, while in harmony he applied not only classical, but also more modern, richer structures. In accordance with the instrumentation, they achieved a fuller color. It can be said that his musical-dramatic works bear the influences of Lehár's melody and Kalmán instrumentation, but in the overall sense, his compositional language with colorful moodiness and the application of classical waltz and fashion rhythms is distinctive and typically Moryic.

It is interesting that the Miss Widow exceptionally well-known actor and director of the first republican films, Oldřich Nový, created the lyrics of He also performed at the premiere of the work at the Provincial Theater in Brno in 1935. This operetta was performed only once in Slovakia and in Bratislava in 1940. to the musical legacy of his native Ján Móry.
