The Story:
All That's Left - the Sign
" The stuff that dreams are made of. "
Waikiki Theatre
was designed by Hawaii
architect C.W. Dickey in 'Tropical Moderne' style, and built by the local Consolidated Amusement
Company as its deluxe flagship. She opened August 20, 1936 exhibiting “Under Two Flags. Many of us considered her Hawaii’s most beautiful theatre.
The star of Kalakaua Avenue featured a lush garden forecourt with a
large fountain.
" I'm walking here! I'm walking here! "
Her lobby featured ornate Moderne wall murals, a ceiling
fresco, and an atmospheric auditorium lined with artificial tropical
vegetation, including two full size coconut palms, a proscenium in the
shape of a rainbow, and a huge Robert Morton organ
that I got to hear!
"TOTO, I'VE GOT A FEELING WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE"
" If you've lost focus, just sit down and be still. . . . rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more. "
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that
pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can
run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as
we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each
miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body
quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and
you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.
