Ululani McQuaid

[1][2] McQuaid was born to family with large landholdings in Kupanihi Valley on Oahu island, and with royal ancestry on her mother's side.

[2] McQuaid's soprano voice became recognised as notable, and she began to take singing lessons from Elizabeth Mackell in Honolulu and performed in local recitals and plays.

In the 1920s Mackell moved to California to teach singing at Mills College, and McQuaid went with her; her goal, she said, was to develop her voice as an accomplishment.

In Paris she debuted under the stage name Madame la Princesse Ululani and continued to perform under this name for several seasons, returning to Hawaii in 1933.

[2] In 1959, after Robertson's death, she married Jan Jabulka, a newspaper executive, and they lived in Washington D.C. for a number of years.
