Ok, that sounds strange, but I'm looking for a picture (I know there is one, that were in a book, at least) of the Hawaiian King Kalakaua with a shriner Fez.
I like everything about shriners, so that's a must have for me.
If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate.

Here is the picture.
If someone can help me find a good scan of it, or a book where the picture has been print.

King Kalakaua was into Islam?!

No, but he got introduced in San Francisco, a few days before he died, in the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
That's the thing I like about this story : lots of tikifan likes shriners fez and suits, because those guys likes to ride the small car, and go drunk in tiki bars, but the funny thing (unknown) is that the last king of Hawai'i was a shriner himself.

But the Islam fez has nothing to do with islamic religion.
