He also made those masks for Del Webb's Ocean House in San Diego, you can see them in the 1967 Jerry Lewis movie "The Big Mouth", which also has a Polynesian restaurant scene in it (that albeit looks like it is a set). One or two Tikis can be glimpsed during the chase across the hotel grounds, also the Polynesian mural at the beachside of the hotel, which I heard is still there. Otherwise the place, which is now the Mission Bay Hilton, is totally de-tikied, including the ship's prow Jolly Roger restaurant.
