Schley. Schely was a skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin who made a series of films under the moniker "Schley Ride'' or “Schley Focus Ride” through his company Picturelogue Inc. Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account, a predominantly silent film which is the final installment of a four-part series on Hawaii, follows Schley as he flies from the Big Island to Kauai and explores the natural wonders of the island. The film opens with footage from Mauna Kea Beach Hotel grounds with guests enjoying the coastal golf course and horseback riding. The majority of the film however, contains footage of tourist attractions hidden amidst Kauai’s national parks and its natural wonders. This is a historically significant film for the way it offers insight into development in the tourism sector across Hawaii in the years after the island nation officially became the 50th state of the Union in 1959.
