Abstract
A Castle Films “World Parade” film. Highlights tourist attractions of visiting the Hawaiian Islands by way of cruise. The narrator guides the viewer through historical landmarks, like Aloha Tower, `Iolani Palace, and the Courthouse. He introduces the living royalty, Duke Kahanamoku, and shows shrines of leaders of the past, like the statue of King Kamehameha. The film shows native traditions like greeting visitors with leis, Hula dancing, and song, and features the favorite past times of surfing, swimming and canoeing on the shores of Waikiki Beach. Natural features of the tropical island getaway, such as the volcanoes Diamond Head and Kilauea and local plants and trees found abundantly on the island, are highlighted and ever-present in the background of island activities. Hawaii is seen as a place to relax and escape, leaving the rest of the world far away to indulge in the natural beauty that is Hawaii.
