Nice tie in Big Bro. But wait, the girl is under the tree and the guy is on the sand in Laguna

And the guy is under the tree and the girl is in the sand in San Francisco!

The Club Royal Hawaiian was the Club Kamokila before, with this bit of history from Arkiva Tropika:

"Club Kamokila was located at 960 Bush St., in San Francisco. Founded in 1933 by pineapple heiress Alice Kamokila Campbell, it was originally called Kamokila's Temple to Art. The temple was the auditorium, as the building was former church that became a speakeasy. Legal issues arose after the club was raided for unlawful liquor sales, and Campbell closed the club in April of 1934, & moved back to Hawaii. It was then taken over by Kamehameha Corporation, and renamed the Royal Hawaiian."
