Welcome to the Hollywood that never was, but always will be.
This spectacular Chinese themed theatre is possibly the most visited Hollywood landmark. It was the creation of Hollywood showman Sid Grauman. The architects of the building were Meyer & Holler. The theater opened on May 18, 1927. It was the followup for Grauman to the successful Egyptian theater which Meyer and Holler had also developed. Grauman wanted a a "palace type theatre" of Chinese design for his new movie theater.
