Members of the Narcissus Festival court included Jacklyn Chun Lan Ma, first princess; Leilani Marie Oi Lan Soon, second princess; Teresa Moon-Shin Lu, third princess, and Chantel Oi Lin Ching, fourth princess.

'TODAY' SHOW WILL PROFILE ISLE SINGER

As part of her Broadway debut as Bloody Mary in "South Pacific" in April, Isle singer-actress Loretta Ables Sayre will be "shadowed" by an NBC TV crew from dawn to dusk tomorrow for a day-in-the-life feature destined for the "Today" show.

Ables Sayre will start her day on radio with Frank B. Shaner and Mandy on KUMU 94.7 FM, then do voiceovers as "the voice" of PBS Hawai'i, mingle with publicist husband David Sayre (as well as her mom and two dogs) at their Mililani Mauka home, then perform at a sunset jazz "aloha concert" at the Lagoon Lawn of the Ihilani resort, where a drink will be dedicated to her.

"The footage of music by the ocean, sand and palms will juxtapose well against my arrival in NYC (this weekend)," said Ables Sayre. "Then the 'Today' show is going to follow me from our arrival through the rehearsal period, up to opening night."

The segments will air to coincide with the April 3 launch of the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre, two days after Ables Sayre's 50th birthday on April 1. She is known here for her starring role in Diamond Head Theatre's "You Somebody" and for her club gigs at the Halekulani and the former Kahala Hilton.

REGGAE TREASURES VANISH IN JAMAICA

KINGSTON, Jamaica — A massive collection of 1970s music, including original recordings by reggae greats Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, has disappeared from the archives of the former Jamaica Broadcasting Corp.

The possible theft of thousands of vinyl records and CDs is a blow to the island's history, said Olivia Grange, Jamaica's information minister.

"The latest development is a national disgrace," said Gladstone Wilson, former program manager for JBC radio.
