the following photos are from the copyrighted collection of Elaine Mae Woo and the Woo family. these are both from 1964. the first is what you saw as you walked up the "gangplank". don't you love the sign?!
the next is an interior shot of the stage area. this is the first glimpse of how grand the design of the islander truly was!
i would like to thank Elaine and the rest of the Woo family for allowing me to post these pics. i have been searching for YEARS for an interior pic of islander in all of its glory and the day has finally arrived! happy happy happy cleen! FYI: we have proof that Hop DID NOT lose the islander gambling. he in fact never lost the islander and was the owner of the property until the early 1980's. he actually sublet the building to tommy lee in 1966.
edited for larger pics. [ Edited by: tikicleen 2005-08-23 16:57 ] [ Edited by: tikicleen 2009-05-26 18:27 ] |
