On Our Cover
OW concluding a New Zealand tour with appearances at 1ZB’s radio theatre is Momi Kaimoku, beautiful young Hawaiian singer and dancer. Born on the island of Maui, she became from an early age a leading exponent of Hawaii's sinuous huladancing, and as an_ exhibition dancer has appeared _ before President Roosevelt. She was also featured in dance sequences in the Bing Crosby film "Waikiki Wedding." While she ‘has been in New Zealand, she has taken a great interest in Maori dancing and singing and has learned a number of Maori songs, as well as mastering the graceful intricacies of the poi dance. Basically, she finds little difference between Hawaiian and Maori folk music, and such variation as there is she thinks is caused mainly by the different Western influences to which the native music has been subjected. But she won't say whether she thinks British or American influence the better of the two. Her most popular number during her stay in New Zealand has been "Lovely Hula Hands," a title well illustrated in our cover illustration this week
