  Princess Victoria Kaiulani
The short-lived Kalakaua dynasty came to power when the almight Kamehameha dynasty ended with King Kamehameha V. The Kamehameha dynasty had risen in the late 1700's when a young boy was born under a bright star that foretold a fate that said anyone born under the star would become a great conqueror.
The legislation met again and chose David Kalakaua, also a descendent of Kamehameha I. Emma, who was the wife of Alexander, thought that she should have been chosen and led a protest and riot.
Kalakaua had been forced at knife point to sign a constitution, later branded the Bayonet Constitution, that tore him of most of his powers and handed them all over to greedy and despotic American and English businessmen.

While both the planters and the Gibson Administration under Kalakaua were responding to the labor shortage on the plantations, it was not in the interests of the plantocracy to increase the political weight of the native population via intermarriage and other alliances.
Kalakaua’s much-criticized tour of the world was also a means of using the body of the King to project a political message.
Dole has his Kalakaua character quip to the Gibson figure such lines as "Let it pass, The man who preaches honesty’s an ass, Not fit for politics." This play, with its stronger condemnation of the government, ends with the entire administration fleeing the islands with an angry mob at their heels.

 House of Kalākaua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House of Kalākaua, or the Kalākaua Dynasty, was the reigning family of the Kingdom of Hawai'i between the assumption of David Kalākaua to the throne in 1874 and the overthrow of Lili'uokalani in 1893.
The most important events during the reign of the House of Kalakaua were the promulgation of the Bayonet Constitution and the overthrow of the kingdom by the Committee of Safety led by former Interior Minister Lorrin A. Thurston.

Gibson, Kalakaua, and the Invention of Hawaiian Nationalism It is rather ironic that a haole immigrant joined King Kalakaua in a partnership to reinvigorate the Hawaiian Monarchy by attempting to create a nationalist movement.
Furthermore, it established an international or universal context for Kalakaua's rule which firmly rejected the haole image of the King as an isolated and backward barbarian chief.As Gibson and Kalakaua's chief concern was maintaining the independence of the Kingdom, they decided to respond aggressively to the eroding position of other sovereign Pacific nations.
Dole has his Kalakaua character quip to the Gibson figure such lines as "Let it pass, The man who preaches honesty's an ass, Not fit for politics." This play, with its stronger condemnation of the government, ends with the entire administration clandestinely fleeing the islands with an angry mob at their heels.
