By Edwin North M cClellan Historian, Editor, Lawyer, Traveller, Columnist, Radio Commentator and former member of OCC

E d w in N . M cC l ella n Sir Harry Maclennan Lauder, the famous comedian and singer, made his first visit to Hawaii about 1914 when about forty-four years of age. His next call was in 1929 on his first Annual Farewell Tour of the World. However, he made one last visit to the Paradise of the Pacific, in 1937, holidaying for his first time in 55 years.

He was knighted in 1919. He now rests in peace with his ancestors. Sir Harry Lauder “was the greatest of all international entertainers,” wrote Joe Laurie, Jr. in his recent book, Vaude­ ville, “because he played as a headliner all over the world and always in vaude." HAPPY AT WAIKIKI “I have never been happier in all my Jife than in Hawaii,” said Harry Lauder. I had always been a great yin for the open-air and the sunshine, and found both at Waikiki. You know, I spent most of the days of my early life underground, so I appreciate the great outdoors you find in this playground of all-year spring at Waikiki.” His listeners were more in­ terested in hearing Harry than in asking questions, so he continued— “There was more siller to be made from concerts when I first started sing­ ing in yon dayy than from a regular tour that took me to the music halls.” After the First World War, Harry Lauder said— "Ay, it’s a bonny world they’ve saved for us; but it’s no sae bonny yet as it
