Abstract:
Title from film container. Reel combines possibly original travel footage by Leroy H. Miller (ca. 1928). Descriptive intertitles (ca. 1936) offer information and commentary from the perspective of an American traveler. May also contain footage acquired by Miller from other sources (ca. 1927). Hawaiian Islands are described as "Paradise of the Pacific" and "Garden Spot of the Earth." Scenes include landscape views of Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, and Mt. Pali; "Royal Hawaiian Band and singers" greeting cruise ship passengers; Japanese carp-shaped wind socks celebrating "Boys Week"; farmer with carabao and other people working in rice paddies and sugar cane fields; man fishing with net in the ocean; people climbing trees to collect coconuts; people chopping and eating coconuts and pineapples; man outdoors pounding taro root to make poi. Also includes views of Mormon Temple, statue of "Kamehameha the Great," and people in traditional dress dancing (described as "Hulu Hulu" dance), with elderly man playing gourd drum. Reel ends with sunset over ocean.

00:00:00 After ten days on the ocean we come to "The Paradise of the Pacific," The Hawaiian Islands. 00:00:12 Passing Diamond Head and entering the harbor. 00:01:07 The Royal Hawaiian Band and singers greet us with "Alpha Oe" This welcome will always be remembered. 00:01:46 A we land, a lei made of flowers, is thrown around our shoulders. 00:02:07 The view. Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor. 00:03:01 This view from Mt. Pali is considered one of the prettiest in the world. 00:03:34 We take a ride around the island of Oahu and this is what we see-- 00:03:43 Japanese celebrate Boys Week by hanging out --- 00:04:13 The suburban farmer of Honolulu still uses Carabao to plow his rice field. 00:05:07 A Hawaiian making his favorite food -- poi. 00:05:51 Behold the fisherman! 00:06:40 A catch of silvery mullet. 00:06:59 This way for coconuts. 00:07:30 A Honolulu nut-hunter. Nothing on his feet but corns. 00:08:49 Off with the outer husk. 00:09:09 Husky Husking. 00:09:30 Coco milk and coco meat. 00:10:12 "A nut, a cup of coco milk and thou --" 00:10:27 A wilderness of flowers, a balmy healthful climate, superb sea bathing, and scenery of surpassing beauty combine in making of Hawaii "The Garden Spot of the Earth." 00:10:43 Private roads on the island are bordered with flowering palm trees. 00:11:02 The Mormon Temple is situated in a garden spot. 00:11:33 A pineapple field. 00:11:57 We have eaten many pineapples, but none were a delicious as this one! 00:12:52 In a sugar cane field. Sugar is the principal industry. Pineapples stand second. 00:14:01 The native dance is the Hulu Hulu. 00:14:39 This old "Gourd Beater" is a remnant of royalty, having been a musician to the Royal House for fifty years. 00:15:04 Too bad, the "Orchestra" is blind, -what a lot he missed in fifty years. 00:15:27 Statue of Kamehameha The Great. The first King to conquer and rule all of the Hawaiians. 00:15:44 The Statue Worshipper. He has waited thirty years to greet the King whom he expects to return to life. 00:16:24 We see the sun set on Honolulu. 00:17:19 End of recording.
