Was tree climber..monkey boy..go up fast,coming down harder..husk,drinking water,crack open for eat spoonmeat..hit The Tank,go off tower,point toes,cover nose 👃..Gr8 memories..picture,autographed ball with Joe DiMaggio at Moana banyan tree..Pleny days At Kuhio Wall...ALL STAY FINE UNTIL FIFTY NINE 🙏🤙🏽
Gotta love the steam ship in the background at 1:26! It's also nice to see all the healthy looking people. You can tell this is long before the rest of the world brought all the garbage food to Hawaii that they eat today.
Our family used to go to San Souci, adjacent to the Natatorium to picnic and watch the Kodak Hula Show and the tourists. Happy times even for the occasional WWII barbed wire remnants buried in the sand that would pierce our bare feet (shoes? what shoes?) Love seeing the circa 50's... everything, the clothes, UH, downtown, etc. Mahalo Nui Loa with warmest Aloha for sharing and making my day. (sniff!)
Nice to see film of Hilo Hattie actually performing (she is now just the symbol of a clothing store). Also I see elements of the Kodak Hula Show (including "Pounding, Pounding, Pounding Poi").

I think some of the boats in this video at Ala Wai Harbor are still there today.
Thank you for sharing this film. It brings back to much memories. Now there is no country and building are going up too fast. I miss the old Hawaii.
No place like home.
