Soundie - [Hawaiian Hula Song] (ca. 1940s)
Could this be "ANA LANI" with Ray Kinney?

Nope its actually..

Title reads: "The Kalua Islanders - Pic Musical".

Pathe Studios, London.

Hawaiian-style band, the Kalua Islanders, sing popularised Hawaiian number. Singer plays guitar, he is accompanied by another musician playing steel lap guitar. A woman in a grass skirt does a wiggly hula dance in front of them. The set looks like a beach on a tropical island.

..i've downloaded the archive.org version yonks ago for a project, but recently i spotted the complete film with the title frames on the British pathe news archive..
