Lot of 31 vintage color photographs documenting a nighttime outdoor luau or Polynesian-style dinner show, likely at a Hawaii or Pacific/Asia USAF social event. Images show a large seated audience wearing leis and floral shirts at tables strung with paper lanterns, watching costumed hula and Polynesian dancers, musicians, and performers in feathered headdresses on a lit stage. Several photos include tables laden with pineapples and tropical fruit, close-up candid portraits of women with cocktails and leis, a couple posing near stage props, and one banquet scene with a partially visible red banner bearing Asian script (possibly Korean), suggesting an overseas military base rather than Hawaii itself. Most are standard snapshot size, color, with typical 1970s-80s magenta/pink color shift and fading; several are blurry or overexposed (a few quality 1 shots included for completeness). No on-print captions or date stamps are visible on the fronts; film stock and fashion suggest 1970s-80s origin. Condition varies from fair to poor: color shift, softness, and some heavy fading/overexposure throughout; a few sharper, well-composed images stand out. Associated with the estate of USAF Col. Patricia Jane Harrington. Sold as a themed lot capturing a candid slice of military social/travel life overseas. Please review photos for condition.
