Show time for Hawaii

April 26, 1906 is believed to be the day when Hawaii witnessed the First Motion Picture ever in history of Hawaii. However there is a conflict over this data, as many people refer to the seven brief scenes screened by Edison's Veriscope as the First Motion Picure which was shown in 1897 in Hawaii.
But definitely, it is clear from history and timeline of Hawaii that the first movie theater - Joel C. Cohem's Orpheum opened on the Fort Street on this day. So Hawaii...its SHOW TIME!!
