The opera Prince of Hawaii

[LovinLK]

I'm looking for some information on the opera Prince of Hawaii, where the song Ke Kali Nei Au comes from.

Does anyone know the composer, when it was written and what other songs were in it and a libretto?

"Source: King's Blue Book, Copyright 1926, 1943 by Charles E. King - Commonly referred to as the Hawaiian Wedding Song, King said he wrote the song while convalescing in Queen's hospital in 1926 for his operetta, Prince of Hawaii. Introduced by the Royal Hawaiian Band, this song featured a duet by John Paoakalani Heleluhe and Lizzie Alohikea."
