Description
An account of the resource
This collection pairs written scholarship with a corresponding collection of audiovisual resources to support the interdisciplinary study of dance and human culture. The intent is to provide students, researchers, educators, as well as the general public with access to key scholarly and philosophical writings by anthropologist of dance Dr. Joann W. Kealiinohomoku (1930-2015) in coordination with an ecclectic assortment of audiovisual materials most of which Kealiinohomoku recorded off air between 1970-2010. <br /><br />Over this 40-year period, Kealiinohomoku, an early adopter of video technology, began recording on Beta tapes, later transitioning to VHS tapes. YouTube's Internet domain name was not activated until 2005; therefore, this audiovisual collection reflects a historical pre-YouTube view of the world. <br /><br />Kealiinohomoku's holistic approach and broad anthropological perspectives invite greater understanding of dance as a human universal. The wide-ranging audiovisual content reflects Kealiinohomoku's particular research interests, popular culture of the era, and dance phenomena from a variety of cultures. It invites open-minded exploration and reflection on changes in scholarship and understanding.<br /><br /><span><span>To help researchers continue their search for audiovisual resources of interest, descriptive metadata is provided for every item, even when no video link has yet been located. Notes describe ephemera related to these audiovisual resources which can be accessed at the Cross-Cultural Dance Resources Collections at Arizona State University.<br /><br />View the Joann W.

Description
Content description from Wikipedia(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cocoanuts):
The Cocoanuts is a 1929 pre-Code musical comedy film starring the Marx Brothers. Produced for Paramount Pictures by Walter Wanger, who is not credited, the film stars the four Marx Brothers, Oscar Shaw, Mary Eaton, and Margaret Dumont. It was the first sound film to credit more than one director (Robert Florey and Joseph Santley), and was adapted to the screen by Morrie Ryskind from the George S. Kaufman Broadway musical play. Five of the film's tunes were composed by Irving Berlin, including When My Dreams Come True, sung by Oscar Shaw and Mary Eaton.
The Cocoanuts is set in the Hotel de Cocoanut, a resort hotel, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. Mr. Hammer (Groucho Marx) runs the place, assisted by Jamison (Zeppo Marx), who would rather sleep at the front desk than actually help him run it. Chico and Harpo arrive with empty luggage, which they apparently plan to fill by robbing and conning the guests. Mrs. Potter (Margaret Dumont, in the first of seven film appearances with the Marxes) is one of the few paying customers. Her daughter Polly (Mary Eaton) is in love with struggling young architect Bob Adams (Oscar Shaw). He works to support himself as a clerk at the hotel, but has plans for the development of the entire area as Cocoanut Manor. Mrs. Potter wants her daughter to marry Harvey Yates (Cyril Ring), whom she believes to be of higher social standing than the clerk. This suitor is actually a con man out to steal the dowager's diamond necklace with the help of his conniving partner Penelope (Kay Francis).
