Some good stuff from the Polynesian in Torrance - Locating Tiki

This one is an advertising card for the Sunday afternoon Luaus that were held at the restaurant. This photo really sums of the Poly Pop experience with the Hawaiian shirt clad folks all gathered around for the hula show (with Caucasian dancers) and the unveiling of the pig from the Imu. There's even a guy who looks like James Dean ready with the shovel, what a classic shot! Here is the back of the card with the description of the festivities. I am also re-posting the card that Sabu posted years ago showing the outside area of the restaurant with the stage and the volcano. The luau must have been right in front of that stage. I wonder if this was from the same photo shoot? DC
