Here’s an Outrigger Inn ad from the April 27, 1962 Official St. Petersburg Weekly Guide… Earlier in this thread, Mo-Eye posted a newspaper clipping of Nani Maka in a Captain’s Chair, cited as appearing in a preview performance for news representatives at the Outrigger Inn. Nani Maka and Prince Faalia (Barney Lee) subsequently performed together there on a club date in April of 1962, while both were on vacation from their regular jobs as performers at the Yankee Clipper Polynesian Room in Fort Lauderdale. That same photo of Nani was on the front page of the St. Petersburg weekly entertainment guide… Here is the accompanying write-up… From Nani’s personal memorabilia is this boating photo of her and Faalia while they were in the St. Petersburg area doing this club date… -Tom
