Lipah introduced the good-natured character of Nacet Kaplj into his radio comedy skits, and he also appeared as Kapelj in the audio advertising film Jugoslovanska knjigarna (dir. Marijan Förster, 1940), which is kept as an audio rarity in the Sound Collection SLOGI - Theater Museum. The sound recording, which is considered the first Slovenian radio advertisement, paints a precise image of Ljubljana in 1940, which still knew the tram as a means of public transport and in which the book was an increasingly important value. The Yugoslav bookstore, the largest in Slovenia at the time, was located in the premises of today's Dom store on Ciril Metodove trg 5 from 1887.
