Photos | A Glimpse into the Past: 1941 New Year's Eve at The Royal Hawaiian

A well-preserved flyer showcasing the New Year's Eve Gala parties held on December 31, 1941, at the Royal Hawaiian and Moana Hotel, accompanied by vintage business cards from the Moana Louve.
Full Description:
This photograph was taken at The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort in Waikiki, capturing a framed historical document detailing the New Year's Eve celebrations from 1941. The event flyer is prominently displayed alongside two faded Moana Louve business cards, offering a nostalgic peek into the grand celebrations of yesteryears, complete with a Spectacular Cavalcade of the Dance” and music by Frank Ellis and His Orchestra. The flyer, set against a backdrop of a white, textured wall, not only serves as a testament to the lavish festivities organized at one of Honolulu’s prestigious venues but also reflects the cultural and social dynamics of early 1940s Hawaii. The slightly reflective glass covering the documents adds a layer of intimacy, inviting viewers to look closer into a time where dance and music filled the air of these iconic hotels during one of the year’s most celebrated nights.
