Scope and content
Hips swaying gently, this young Hawaiian miss is demonstrating the hula in this May 30, 1960, photograph. Her arms crossed, she is wearing a three-strand lei and a fitted muumuu. She is either Iwalani Lum-King or Dandy Lu Pointe. Her head-and-shoulders portrait can be seen at D126832-12. Believed to be one of the eighteen islanders appearing in the one-night-only "Royal Polynesian Review" held at the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse on June 1, 1960. There were seven girl dancers who performed hulas and Tahitian dances, a Samoan prince who demonstrated the flaming sword dance, Maori war songs, and comedy. It was an opportunity for Tacomans to see authentic Polynesian music and dances. Photograph ordered by Tropical Attractions, Inc., Honolulu, Hawaii. (TNT 5-26-60, A-7)
