Schley produced a series of films titled “Picturelogues“, and these sequences, which were shot with an Auricon sound newsreel camera, were intended to be inserted into longer films. Norman E. Schley produced these segments between 1951-1953 during Hawaiian governor Oren E. Long’s term. The film portrays Hawaii, mainly through its deep-rooted traditional hula dances and Auana musical performances, using traditional instruments such as the ukulele and feathered gourd rattles, ʻUlīʻulī.
