Hooray For Hollywood!

Sid Grauman's Chinese Theater
One must stand before this building to inspect the details of its design to get the real impact of the magnificence. Unfortunately my interior shots were not viewable. The stage curtain was replaced with an identical duplicate of the original curtain with a cost of $500.000.00. Academy Awards were held at the Chinese Theater for three years in 1941, 1942, and 1943. How wonderful to have these pieces of history of the movie industry preserved for all us to view and remember how it was, the Golden Era of the movie industry.
