When he returned to Poland, with the money he had earned from his performances, he built the well-known hotel Patria in the Polish border town of Krynica-Zdrój, which cost him about US$3 million.

Kiepura played in twelve Polish musicals, including O czym się nie myśli (1926),[7] Die Singende Stadt (Neapol, śpiewające miasto) (1930),[8] Tout Pour L'amour (Zdobyć cię muszę) (1933),[9] and Mon coeur t'appelle (1934).

Kiepura's return to Warsaw in 1934 caused a sensation in the Polish capital, and his musical shows were received with huge enthusiasm.

Kiepura also started a film career, working with Berlin's UFA and then with the Motion Picture Industry in Hollywood.

He played in many films, of which the most famous are: The Singing City, The Song of Night, Ich liebe alle Frauen, The Charm of La Boheme, The Land of Smiles.

In 1937 Kiepura and Eggerth were forced to flee Europe due to the rise of German Nazism and the onset of World War II.
