"Meet me at the Bamboo Room"

A line in Kid Glove Killer, 1942, which I just saw Friday night at the San Francisco Film Noir Festival. The scene was pre-tiki-bar with plenty of bamboo, hawaiian music playing in the background, tropical drinks in glasses which could have been Singapore slings or planter's punches, Chinese food, and a lamp on the table that was made in an African figurehead style.
