The shade of FARRINGTON HALL and the expanding campus of the 1930s. Where the Liliuokalani Student Services Center is today, a theater stood from 1930-1962. Housing Manoa’s theatre department before it moved to Kennedy Theatre on East-West Road in 1963, Farrington showcased some of the earliest English-language productions of kabuki and noh plays—including casting women in play roles exclusively reserved in traditional Japanese and Chinese theater for men.
Farrington Hall was named for Wallace R. Farrington, who had chaired the young College’s Board of Regents (1914-1920) before becoming Hawaii’s sixth territorial governor in 1921. In 1943, as World War II brought a burgeoning military population to the islands, the theatre was taken over by the US Army, 100 soldiers were stationed there, and it became part of the Army’s Entertainment Section.
My note to everyone, and Amelia
Growing up in Waimanalo, we had to walk to school sometimes because we didn't have the money to pay Mrs. Kealoha to take us home in her banana wagon, so we walked. It was very painful for me to walk from Waimanalo elem/inter school to Kaiona Beach Park area. I came to realize the reason for all that pain was because our little bodies were filled with DDT.
Before Waimanalo we lived at Lanikila Housing and Manoa Housing which is where I learned the art of walking the talk. At five years old I was on the streets doing errands. Today, I don't let my children-grand leave my eyesight. But, like my dad I knew the streets. So, Farrington was something or someone that I wanted to know about.
I can weave Farrington and Kuhio together and get the 'rehabilitation' and the 'reorganization' to understand history and now. But, as Po'ohina said that is 'yellow journalism' on July 4 2010. A very mind controlling mechanism.
I'm trying to purge my accumulation of 'stuff'' to keep up with the large roaches crawilling all over my library.
Unfortunately, I have B.C. Changs works in my library that I am scanning through quickly in the aftermath of guardrails.
All up along the Farrington Hwy we have 'Iwi' which is why Alika Silva is protesting in front OHA--in your face style for 80 plus days.
So, I'm reading "Working Paper" 33 pages., May 1991 (all rights reserved, consult authors before citing) OF BLOOD AND LAND: HOW COMPETING VISIONS OF PROPERTY AFFECT THE LEGAL TREATMENT OF BURIAL REMAINS AND THE RELIANCE INTEREST IN PROPERTY
by Williamson B C Chang, Mark Lofstrom and Eric Young
As monkey pig's father said, we nevah hanohino the 'iwi' in the caves under their tents entering form shore and swimming in going mauka at guardrails. Because monkey's father didn't want the problem to fall on his family. If the Haole going mess up the place the problem lies on their heads,
(my words), but moneky's fathers words too at the Lele.
On this shore, we had the toughest fishermen living on the Lele for years, through Homeless Federal Funds the City Mayor and Debbie Kim managed to dupe the public and use these monies to aquire jurisdiction recently. So, when these guys build Duke Kahanomoku (high class Mc Donalds restruant like John Dominis at Kewalo Basin, we can all have coffe and talk shit!

But, I find"A Case of Reparations for Native Hawaiians by Karen N. Blondin much more intriguing.
