There's a great website for Atlanta History called the Atlanta Time Machine.

They have a postcard of the interior of the Dinkler Luau. Looks very much like a TV.

See here: http://www.atlantatimemachine.com/misc/dobbs.htm

But also click on the radio jingle at the top for a vintage radio ad for the Atlanta Luau, it was the one on "Sound of Tiki."

It says here too that the Atlanta Luau as the model for about seven other locations throughout the SE, including Memphis.

Also click the link to the Atlanta Tiki Retaurant Ads. Some great vintage ads. Apparently at some point the "Atlanta Luau" became the "Atlanta Tiki."

They also have several ads with pics of the old Atlanta Trader Engs.
