  • Description - [postcard]; The Royal Hula-hula dancing girls were a feature of olden days in Hawaiʻi. The Hula-hula is acting out by gestures and movements the ideas expressed by the song which accompany them. The time is marked by striking on gourds of hokeo and in some instances these dancers are in honor of the Gods or chief as the alaapa-apa. The professional hula dancers are devotees of the Goddess Laka. The dancers are generally women, though children are sometimes engaged in the less objectionable dances and men act as buffoons between the acts; Published by Hawaiʻi and South Seas Curio Company, Honolulu; [from the front]: Royal Hula-Hula Dancers, Hawaiʻi
