WWII Hawaii Photo Album Page: Hula Performances and Paul Bunyan Statue, Servicemen Audience
A page from a World War II serviceman's personal photo album documenting popular outdoor entertainment for military personnel stationed in Hawaii. Hula dancers and Hawaiian singers performed in hotel and park gardens for audiences of US Navy sailors and officers, offering a welcome respite from wartime duties.
