About This Item
This Hawaiian singer, musician and orchestra leader with an Irish name became a popular Big Band vocalist in the 1930s and surfed the wave of Hawaiian popularity, appearing in Broadway productions such as "Aloha Maids" and "Hellzapoppin" before starting up his own Big Band. PS, glossy heavy stock 5½" X 3½", Honolulu, HI, 31 May 1940. Very good. Photograph side is fine, while message/address side bears stains about some margins. Picture postcard with sepia-tone photograph showing Kinney singing surrounded by his band and hoola dancers, captioned "Ray Kinney's Hawaiian Room Orchestra and the Aloha Maids" at the Hotel Lexington in New York; Kinney boldly signs "Aloha / Ray Kinney" in blue ink in the message portion on the verso and addresses it in his neat hand to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar). Most unusual and fairly attractive despite stains.
