KailuaKid's video: HART L WEAVER - 1929 HAWAII TRIP

The Weaver Family was grounded in the Motor Car Sales business in Northern California. Pierce Arrows and Studebakers. We recently received a donation. It was a metal toolbox containing 16 mm films. There was a total of 16 six inch reels, all of the edge code were dated to be 1929 and 1930. Twelve were filmed in black and white, four were filmed in Kodacolor. This film you're watching was difficult to transfer as the film was a copy and the edges were transparent making it difficult (or next to impossible to copy without an abundance of flickering making it impossible to view without going crazy. We believe this film was taken in Waimanalo Beach despite the lack of geographic features that could nail down the location. No Rabbit Island. Not Twin Mokes. This was 2 years before construction began on the Pahonu Hale. We are speculating the luau finale took place at the Shriners Beach Retreat. There is also the possiblility one of the guests at the luau is the Host, Mayor John H. Wilson. Great Pali scenes, No Waikiki images. Just the homey intimacy of an "All Windward Oahu" viewing
