Hawaiian Swing
Lani MacIntyre and his orchestra play the title in a Hawaiian Swing style while pretty girls dance the hula in this soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
McIntyre and his brothers, Dick and Al, popularized Hawaiian music and brought the sound of the steel guitar to American music. He died in 1951 at the age of 46.
