A search for "A Star is Born" with Janet Gaynor turned up nothing, so sorry if someone mentioned this before, but the 1937 version of this movie had a (pre)tiki bar scene near the beginning. The scene starts with a closeup of a bottle of Rum being poured into a shaker of milk and Andy Devine says something like "more rum, George, it dilutes the taste of milk". A little bamboo can be seen in the background and the obvious view of tapa cloth can be seen on the front of the bar that they are sitting at. 1937-wow!
