Wow... I'm already finding tons of stuff on this place. This gem seems to link the Broadway and Geary locations (notice Paul Goupil listed on the Broadway location mailer posted above, but this quote references the Geary location):

From here
"My name is Paulette Goupil. I am the daughter of the famous Tahitian Musician/Dancer. His band was known in the 50's as Paul Goupil and his Tahitians. As the wording suggests he specialized in Polynesian Music. He wrote music also, but didn't know how to read music. He was born in Papeete, Tahiti in October of 192something. He put his first band together at 17 and they all left Tahiti and came to America. I have also named my first born son Paul. I have ancestry in Tahiti that I have not seen in about 40 years. In San Francisco my father played at the Tahitian Hut on Geary, the Fairmont Hotel for I don't know how long but I do remember his band going out on that floating stage when they played. Anyway does anybody have any information for me?"
