Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood, California. Exterior. Photo taken the week of July 11, 1939. When snapshots like this one appear, it is especially interesting, because the posters on display can date the photo within a week or so. This poster is for the Sonja Henie-Tyrone Power musical Second Fiddle along with second feature It Could Happen to You, which opened Wednesday, July 19, 1939. At the top of the poster however, it says "Starts Wednesday," so this photo was actually taken sometime during the week starting Wednesday, July 11, 1939, when Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever and Bridal Suite were playing.
 

Thank you for spending some of your time at graumanschinese.org. Please remember that this is a fan site, not affilliated with the TCL Chinese Theatre in any way. The Editor strives for accuracy on this site, but as with everything having to do with Hollywood and the movies, mistakes creep in regardless.

We should like to hear from you. One of the reasons the Chinese is still up and running is because of the way we collectively feel about the place. Please send us your comments, impressions, typos, and recollections. E-mail to the Editor at kurt.wahlner@gmail.com
