The old Pahala Theatre I would think is no more. October 2006 from the Ka Pepa Pahala newspaper Vol4, Number 12 this story:"The sides of the Pahala Theatre have fallen down and the main roof has fallen in. The County of Hawaii has posted a no trespassing and danger sign and has asked the owners to take care of the situation. Sandra Lei Johnson, head of the art department of Ka'u High School is now painting a beautiful picture of the theatre on canvas.

This theatre was located in Naalehu, Ka'u is the forest reserve. Ka'u High School is also located in Naaleuhu.
thanks Chuck, I couldn’t tell where the theatre was with those Hawaiiian names.I guess I was close. The Theatre looking at the picture I have from the newspaper, looks to hsve been built in the 30’s or 40’s.
That area is located on the Pahala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii so I am sure that is where the name came from.
Thanks again,its a sad looking picture from the paper there.
Mike; With all the time I’ve spent in Hawaii I still have trouble with Hawaiian words. I think it’s because it only uses 12 letters in it’s alphabet and seems to use a lot of vowels.
Naalehu is the SOUTHERMOST TOWN in the 50 States.
Need an address, more info, and photos.
Pahala is dervied from the Pala Tree, it is the ashes from the trees that was used to fill in the cracks of the Sugar Cane Plantations. The Pahala Forst Reserve is at the base of the mountains on a plateau where the Cane fields were located on the Pahala Coast. I am very familiar with Hi. after spending 23 flying between STL/HNL and STL/KOA for TWA.
