An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Hula, the 1927 Victor Fleming silent tropical Hawaii romantic love triangle melodrama ("Adapted from Doriz Anderson from the novel by Armine von Tempski"; Clara Bow is the daughter of a pineapple plantation owner in Hawaii, and when a handsome English engineer shows up, she falls in love, and actively pursues him, but then it turns out he is married, and his wife shows up, but that doesn't deter Clara!) starring Clara Bow (in the title role as Hula Calhoun), Clive Brook, Arlette Marchal, Arnold Kent, Patricia DuPont, and Duke Kahanamoku (who was a legendary Hawaiian five-time Olympic medalist and actor who is credited with popularizing the sport of surfing). Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.
