Inflammammal Loves Paper Ephemera

Largely food-related, but any beautiful old illustration from oh 'bout 1910 to 1955 or so. All items on this page are from my own collection, unless otherwise stated.

Another very recent night-time postcard acquisition, a mystery if I ever bought one.  It's quite old, probably from the early '40s, and there is no explanation provided save saying this scene takes place in Honolulu HI.  What's being lit?  Are those spectators, or indigenous folk, or . . . ?  It baffles me, and haunts me just a bit in a peculiar way.
