Westadad and Club Noname,
Thanks for the translation. Here is the back of the card. What does it say!
Bigbro, thanks also for all of the info, you seem to be right on all accounts. Although the two figures lying on the ground with the gray feathers seem to be more like the Duk Duk in design.
Still a good excuse to explore Duk Duk once again!

No mention on the backside where this takes place unfortunately.
Here's my best attempt to translate what's in the boxed area, I apologize in advance, my French is horrible.
"Religious dance to the Pacific Islands. In the islands of the South Pacific Ocean. we discover the various species of birds that are distinguished by their dense plumage, with various colors including Cockatoo, the Hummingbirds and Paradise. The natives have the feathers. (Cant make sense of this sentence) ??? are especially during religious ceremonies. Our picture shows three men wearing the mantle of Capuchin made using feathers of Cockatoo and Hummingbirds. they engage in a symbolic struggle of "good spirit" against the "evil spirit" who, dressed in a dark plumage, is represented to you. This fight gives rise to an annual solemnity. Single men can attend."
I'm still searching for the where this took place.

Hope to find our more about that bird dance.
Now this old German postcard is a Duk Duk.
When is a duck not a duck? When it's a Duk Duk!

Tried for this very cool Aloha Jhoe's drink menu on ebay.
The drinks.
Some interesting drink names.
They had a nice clam-shell bowl.
And the Aloha Jhoe's Punch (Mystery Drink?)
Rhum story.

Thanks DC for bumping this - fun to reread the Duk Duk discourse from bigbro, and nice to see that menu. Funny coincidence because with no knowledge of that ebay menu you showed, just last night I happened to scan the Aloha Jhoes drink menu page from a 1963 Palm Springs desert menu book. Here tis...
