Sixty (sayeth the route book) alluring aloha ladies go aloft to the lyrics of the lovely Luawana lullaby (I’ve elaborated on the alliteratives given).
Looks like Charlton Heston as Brad is walking down the track in front of the audience’s view. That’s a minor artistic license (yet, I guess, plausible) taken compared to what we saw in the portrayal of circus life in Water for Elephants!
Thanks, Eric, for this series and the expertise of your son to present them!

This very short little sequence shows the "Popcorn and Lemonade" finale dancers coming down the track.
It's the only time we see anything of the finale although the music is played several times as background.
As been mentioned before on the blog Greed(Anderson )and Cheap(DeMille) kept us from seeing the finale on screen.

Whoops, I just meant to comment on the number of showgirls (versus dancers today). Dom would be correct, of course, that this is the finale and not the aerial ballet with Pinito del Oro.
