...Flapper's Half Acre," Honolulu's night-club and cabaret belt, was the scene of the most celebrated crime in Hawaiian history-rape of Mrs. Thalia Massie, wife of a lieutenant in the U. S. Navy, followed by the death of a Hawaiian suspected of the crime and the conviction of Mrs. Massie's mother, husband and two men for manslaughter. Last week, Flapper's Half Acre made sordid news again. A telephone call for an ambulance brought police to the sumptuous beach house of thick-jowled young Prince David Kalakaua Kawananakoa...

Louis was a years character; he had twelve children and eleven years of marriage. "One each year of wedlock," he said, ignoring the first born. Louis...
...army presents an interesting spectacle in Honolulu. But because the army is the same as the Navy in Boston or Brooklyn, with the same characteristics off duty, it would be foolish to bring the names of countless innocent Hawaiians, Puerto Ricans, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Stanford girls by mentioning the army. From the army one passes in review, to the hula in which one is told to watch the hands. The hands, the Waikiki beach boys claim, flashing their teeth in a smile, are very important...
