Description
Photograph of an exterior view of Grauman's Chinese Theater, 1920-19229. Two palm trees stand in front of the large theater at center. People are scattered along the sidewalk and in the cleared area in front of the entrance. The theater is decorated in a Chinese motif with intricate columns that extend from its corners and a sloping roof. Banners extend from the building to an unseen building across the street in the foreground. Mountains stand across the background.
