Watch for more cockroach commentary in his show at the Royal Hawaiian's Monarch Room like something that worked during the world championship roach race, about roaches and their significance to the melting pot image of Hawaii: "They're dark as the blacks, they're efficient as the Chinese, they eat like Hawaiians, and everyone can relate to being stepped on" Jack Magoon, Hawaiian Airlines president, buzzed Aku yesterday on KSSK Radio, which sponsored Bumatai's roach entry, coincidentally named Aku, in the race, and Magoon thought it might be a nifty j.

At 18, Grant Kenny from Queensland is a figure mak- ing a leaping splash on the scene.

He just broke his own record in the grueling kayak paddling race between Molokai's Laau Point and Hawaii-Kai's Maunalua Beach Park. "We'll still do a screen test with Kenny, though he's done one com-mercial already. When I was in Aus- tralia, I saw him in what is called the Iron Man Contest, the Australian Olympics of water sports. Life imi- tates art, if he gets the role. Or vice versa."

The first "Grease" is the most successful musical comedy ever in filmdom and was Paramount's top money-maker till "Raiders" bypassed it this month. "If you remember, there was in the original 'Grease' the end-of-the-school year carnival," says Carr. "Well, you heard about it first about my 'Grease 2' finale. Eve Arden (who is still principal at Ry-dell High) will be doing the ultimate high school luau.

A Paradise Luau Day. "As we speak, Eve Arden and Dodie Goodman (returning as a faculty member) are practicing the 'Hawaiian War with Annette Funicello as the music teacher." So much for the Hawaii "color." Lorna Luft Liza Minnelli's half-sister has been cast in "Grease 2" as one of the female leads, paralleling the Stockard Channing rolein the original. The male lead is Maxwell Caul-field (who's 20), the husband of Juliet Mills (who's 40), whom Carr saw in "The Entertaining Mr. Sloan" off- Two years ago, wunderkind filmmakers George "Star Wars" Lucas and Steven "Jaws" Spielberg huddled on Kauai about a movie script and project that was to become Paramount's largest-grossing motion picture.

The other day, movie-maker Allan "Grease" Carr was holding an audition at his Diamond Head home for Australian youth Grant Kenny in Carr's forthcoming film, "Follow the Sun," a story about an Aussie cham- pion swimmer, an American youth doing commercials, and a girl photographer, which Carr describes as "a young people's romance." Though it'll be days maybe weeks before Kenny knows if he'll get the nod, the principal casting has been launched in the Islands inasmuch as Hawaii is geographically half-way between Australia and Hollywood.

"Grant Kenny already was in the Islands, to take part in a Molokai-to-Oahu surf paddling contest, and it was easier for me to bring over director Simon Wincer to interview Grant." Lucas, Spielberg, and the Meadows-AUen couple don't live here. But Carr does sometimes when he's not shuttling between New York, Beverly Hills, London, and Australia. They are part of what has is becoming commonplace in show biz: Hollywood has expanded its swinging doors far, far west to the shores of Hawaii. Concepts are being fertilized here; deals are being made here: the figurative casting couch might be a sandy retreat on these Pacific shores. And Carr is typifying a growing breed of industry pioneers who are making the Islands a part of the Hollywood and New York process of formalizing and formulating movie deals.

"I have to be back in Hollywood," Carr said earlier this week, before hopping a plane back to the West Coast yesterday. "We start shooting 'Grease 2' on Nov. 9, and the picture's now in rehearsals."
