This lowball glass was given out at the Waikiki Cinerama Hotels (Reef, Reef Towers, Coral Reef, and Edgewater) as a promotion. It features a hula girl with bright red lei on back. The Reef, Reef Towers and Edgewater hotels were sold to the Cinerama movie company in 1969. However, during the recession of the 1970s the hotel industry suffered; the financial ailments for Cinerama’s hotel operations compounded and allowed Roy Kelley to re-purchase the hotels from Cinerama in 1982 and re-integrate them back into the Outrigger chain.
