Festival Polynesia Will Open Sept. 8 Exciting South Sea Island entertainment and much needed financial help for worthy students will be combined next week as the Festival Polynesia is presented. The troupe of 176 performers opened its United States appearances August 31 in Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. From the Polynesian Center at Laie, Oahu the talented performers will appear at Highland High School in Salt Lake City Sept. Tickets are on sale at ZCMI downtown or Cottonwood Mall or at the box office. All tour proceeds are used for scholarships for students of the Pacific area. Most of the students attend the Church College of Hawaii. The musical spectacle features 176 Samoans, Fijians, Tahitians, Tongans, Maoris and Hawaiians. The Los Angeles and Salt Lake City appearances will be the only mainland shows this year. A new presentation has been prepared for this tour. Howard W. Hunter, a member of the Quorum of Twelve, is director of the Polynesian Center. He and his wife represented the General Authorities at the Los Angeles appearances. The dancers and singers from the six representaive islands are helping preserve the cultures of their islands. In addition to their mainland performances they act as guides at the 15 acre center at Laie. They also assist in demonstrating skills, in preparing authentic native foods and performing maintenance work. In an open air amphitheater at the Polynesian Center, these same students and other, islanders present the Isle of Paradise production four nights weekly. Demonstrations also arc staged every day except Sundays. The late Matthew Cowley, a member of Council of Twelve, started the plan to gather persons of Polynesia to preserve their cultures and also provide educational opportunities for the youth. The center, started late in 1963, was built by labor missionaries from the Pacific anc the mainland. 8-1- 3.
