A little more on the Mossman family... Pre-war, they were involved with a place called "Lalani Hawaiian Village" in the 1920's. As a precursor to the Ulu Mau Village and the Polynesian Cultural Center, it was a outdoor venue located where the Park Shore Hotel stands today on Kapahulu across from the Zoo in Kapiolani Park where traditional Hula and cultural crafts were showcased.. Closed at the beginning of WWII, pictures are quite hard to find. I was lucky enough to find an unpublished one of a sailor, tiki, and hula maiden that I did put in Waikiki Tiki. I have seen a sepia postcard on eBay occasionally but never won it.
