"Since the Brazilian maxixe of 1890 and the cakewalk of 1903 broke up the pattern of turns and glides that dominated the European round dances, our generation has adopted with disquieting rapidity a succession of Central American dances, in an effort to replace what has been lost to modern Europe: multiplicity, power, and expressiveness of movement, to the point of grotesque distortion of the entire body . . . and in 1912 the fox trot with its wealth of figures.

Fires sometimes reshaped the community. The 1912 Fraser Pier fire burned the entire 6 block business district. That same pier partially burned in 1915, and was entirely destroyed along with adjoining structures on O.F. Walk in 1924. The Kinney Pier at Windward burned in 1920, but luckily spared the nearby business district.
