Polynesian Maui Tiki Pillows

Maui, born of the gods, lived among the people of the South Seas. His Pranks and tricks provided the Islanders with a constant source of new tales…

After returning to America in the 1950s from living abroad, Stephen Crane opened The Luau, a Polynesian-themed restaurant on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Quickly becoming a celebrity hotspot, the Luau was known for its innovative tiki decor and its high-profile customers. As the host and owner, Crane became a well-known name in the restaurant industry and tongue in cheek signed his menus as "STEFOOMA, High-Talking Chief of the Luau" in an attempt to keep up with the storied personas of Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic. Crane expanded his company, Stephen Crane Associates, which at one point included over a dozen different restaurants.

Stephen Crane (a.k.a. Steve Crane, Steven Crane) started out as bit actor in Hollywood in the 30's and became better known for being one of Lana Turner's ex-husbands than for any of his roles. Realizing his limited acting skills, Steve Crane turned his charm and energies to the restaurant business and in 1953 bought out 'The Tropics' in Beverly Hills. Taking his cue from Trader Vic's and Don the Beachcomber, Steve created his own Polynesian themed restaurant 'The Luau'. The restaurant quickly became a hit and a 'must see' Hollywood celebrity hot spot. Eventually Steve Crane would be approached by Sheraton to create a Polynesian themed restaurant for the hotels to compete with Hilton and their association with Trader Vic's.

This pre-tiki establishment was open at least as early as 1945. Before this, in 1943, it was home to the Rose Bowl. Hy Ginnis, the original host, died in 1955. Art Adler took over soon after. It was located on Chicago's Rush Street which was quite notorious at the time for gambling, prostitution, and all sorts of debauchery. The exterior was marked by huge neon vertical letters spelling out "TRADE WINDS". By the 1960s, this location housed the Whiskey A Go Go.

Setting sail on May 1, 1976, the Hōkūleʻa embarked from Hawaii on her 2,500-mile voyage, arriving in Tahiti on June 4, thirty-four days after departing from Honolua Bay, Maui. Billed as the Bicentennial Voyage of Rediscovery, the primary goal of this trip was to support the theory of Asiatic origin of native Oceanic people, Polynesians, and Hawaiians, while proving that ancient open water voyaging techniques and non-instrument navigation allowed for migration and travel. In Hawaiian, the name Hōkūleʻa means 'Star of Gladness' and refers to Arcturus, one of the guiding stars for Hawaiian navigators, which passes directly over Hawaii’s latitude, helping guide sailors to the island chain.
