Famous for its lush beauty and inviting beaches; Hawai�i also boasts a rich theatrical history dating back to the mid-19th century and spanning its years as a kingdom; U.S. territory; and a state. Its warm; tropical climate and social; cultural; and ethnic diversity contributed to the variety of theatres unique to the islands�from simple; rural plantation theatres on the neighbor islands; to neighborhood movie houses in exotic styles; to an incomparable tropical moderne jewel near the beach at Waikiki. Most of these theatres are now just a memory; except for those few saved by dedicated individuals and restored for another life. This book celebrates the rich history of these theatrical venues through rare archival photographs and little-known details.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. North Collins and thereaboutsBy CustomerI have a 90 acre home in the area. which drew me to this book. I am a reader. not a fan of photographs. This is a book of photographs. with spare commentary. Nevertheless. this book is the only one of its kind (as far as as I can find) which offers any historical bacground of the small local area that it covers. If this microcosm of Western New York interests you. you will find no better source.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
