 According to Don Ho, in the days when Don was still just a local entertainer in Waikiki, Ponce and the "Hawaiian Eye" cast and crew used to come to his show every night.The "Hawaiian Eye" patronage became a big draw for Don and the small club, as customers would line up just to be able to be with the television celebrities.The show led to parts in a handful of films, most notably as part of a stock car racing pit crew on Elvis Presley's team in the 1968 "Speedway".
