Description
Photograph of two views of the forecourt of Grauman's Egyptian Theater, with caption, [s.d.]. Two separate photographs of the theater are shown in one composite image: the top image shows an open courtyard where two signs and a large urn are displayed prominently, the entrance to the theater visible in the background. The lower image looks out onto the court through the columns near the theater entrance. Faux-Egyptian sculpture can be seen decorating the structure. To the right of this image, the caption is pictured. The caption reads: "Grauman's Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, California, famous the world over for its unique, distinctive Egyptian architecture, is finished with California Stucco. This remarkable structure vividly portrays the possibilities of this material, for the architect can produce in California Stucco almost any architecture he can conceive. Grauman's Egyptian Theater was designed and buit by Meyer & Holler, Inc., of Los Angeles".
