In the one with the waitress smoking (as far as I remember, everybody was smoking everywhere all the time back then) there is a very seductive black velvet nude painting on the back wall, which is replaced with a rather mean looking native in the one a couple of photos below. I bet that some of the more conservative churchgoin' folk had complained, maybe that native was a joke about that....
That nude is a known motif, a wahine drinking out of a shell, and I think it was done by Tyree, not Leeteg.

I was looking at those two pics very closely as well. It seems to me that they are in two different places. One is in the nightclub bar, the other is in the lounge across the atrium from the dining room. I don't know which is which, but the ceiling areas look different to me. I would think that this one is in the nightclub because of the seductive picture,

and that this one was in the lounge. However, Mom thought it was the other way around. I will try to ask her more.

The rest of your info is way cool!

I vote that some TCer who has a bunch **should send Volcano Girl a Tiki Leilani mug ** for her wonderful thread here! (And send me a Leilani Rum bottle for my display! :wink: )

I second that vote! Any takers?

I won't be posting for the next two weeks, because I'll be in Havana, but will be back with Trader Vic's pics and stories. Aloha all.

We will miss your input!! Have a great time!
