Aloha, "...A Noggin full of rum and 15 days to pay!"
Gotta love the Beachcomber's style!! This comes courtesy of theHoagy Carmichael archive at Indiana University. Card #4! I suppose it comes from the second Hollywood location when Don had a little more cash! I searched his coorespondence and can't find any mention... A search of Hawaii did pop up an interesting series of letters expressing interest of investing in Kahoolawe on a tourism venture though! I wonder when and what other Hollywood stars Donn issued these to and how many are out there waiting to be documented? I want one, bad...it's a holy grail to me! In my book Waikiki Tiki, I documented an autographed 1946 (78 RPM) record album & Christmas present (I own) sent to Phil and Alice Harris from Don and Sunny. That would have been the first Xmas since opening his first Waikiki location... Waikiki Tiki; Art, History, and Photographs. [ Edited by: Phillip Roberts 2011-01-18 16:35 ] |
