Earl Carroll opened his theater at 6230 Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, California, on December 26, 1938, and adorned its facade with a 20-foot high neon portrait of Beryl Wallace. The interior had the world's largest double-revolving stage and a dining capacity of 1000. The theater was sold following the 1948 deaths of Earl Carroll and Beryl Wallace.
The audience watches prancing horses and showgirls during a Dixie theme show as they dine at the Earl Carroll Theatre on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. On the stage behind the costumed performers is a large organ.
