So, in the "eye's" of Hawaiian law circa early 1960's, their marriage would still be valid even though it was a polygamous/bigamous one (assuming HI as place of marriage)? It's a valid marriage?

For most purposes you can think of, almost certainly so.

It might be "voidable"--subject to summary dissolution although that does not appear likely for the reason that an annulment would probably have been quicker and cheaper for Stanley Ann than a divorce proceeding--the fact she didn't go for that is an indication that under Hawaii law, the defect would not be grounds to dissolve the marriage ab initio.
