By the way, I am not sure if the menu cover design was done by Bowers. It was a generic template used by other tropical restaurants at the time:

The native maiden here is more in Bowers style than some of the line art on the previous pages, but I tried to compare the palm trees and came back with the impression that Bowers must not have liked them:

Not even in his clearly Polynesian paintings for the Leilani Hut and the Zamboanga did he make much use of them. This is interestingly unusual considering what a standard prop the palm was in any island girl scene at that time!
