I picked up a postcard showing a topless Tahitian Maiden that came from the Tahitian Room at the Plantation. I remember seeing something in the past that this was a painting on display at the restaurant.
I found this little story on web that confirms the nude was on the wall at the Tahitian Room.
"Putting on the dog, we’d find our way to Moline’s Plantation. Always, “The Plant,” the absolute “in” place. Lovers cooed in little grass huts while Sinclair Mills leaned into the keys to sing “House of Blue Lights.” Women blushed, but guys couldn't’t keep their eyes off the screen of a bare-bosomed Tahitian maiden."
The picture of the nude was a backlight transparency and was there until the restaurant closed after owner Nick Cherikos was murdered in a robbery scheme by an employee. I ate many dinners at that restaurant in my youth and early adulthood. Sinclair Mills was great on the piano, and after he left Moline, was in Chicago, at a place on Walton, off Michigan where I saw him play as well.
