Greetings from Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood


From Retiring Guy's postcard collection

Chinese Theatre marks 90 years as Hollywood glamour hotspot.  (The Times of Northwest Indiana, 5/18/2017)
Opened for business on May 18, 1927. Sid Grauman's masterpiece movie house stands on a bustling corner of Hollywood Boulevard, next door to the Dolby Theatre where the Oscars are now presented and across the street from the historic Roosevelt Hotel, where the first Oscar ceremony was held in 1929. Like a Hollywood take on a Chinese temple, it boasts a pagoda-shaped roof and ornate marble carvings, with a cement forecourt filled with celebrity footprints.
