[78-L] Hawaiiian Jazz Question - Mal?

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Dave -
This version I know from nothing.
However "Ka-Lu-A" was written in 1921 by Jerome Kern and Anne Caldwell 
for the stage play "Good Morning Dearie" and was picked up by Hawaiian 
musicians and adopted. So it's now considered a Hawaiian standard. A 
song it is coupled with on many 78s, from the same play, is "Blue Danube 
Blues".
I'd like to hear it. Maybe I could identify the steel guitarist.
