Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation<\/a> & Hollywood Heritage<\/a> in association with the American Cinematheque and Art Deco Society of L.A., invite you to a comprehensive behind-the-scenes documentary tour of Sid Grauman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s masterpiece, the Chinese Theatre, to celebrate its 85th Anniversary. All About Grauman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Chinese Theatre will take you on an insider\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tour: backstage, under-stage, to Grauman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s office and private boxes, down the stars\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 stairway and upstairs to the new Chinese Ballroom bar and restaurant, through the renovated Chinese 6 theatres and to Grauman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Gallery, featuring photos of the theatre\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s storied history. Grauman expert, Mark Simon, will share the Sid Grauman story, from the Yukon to L.A. Theatre historian Ed Kelsey will present a PowerPoint history of the Chinese: the planning, construction and operation of the theatre, its elaborate prologues, the Forecourt and its iconic imprint ceremonies, and explain the theatre\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s evolution since its grand opening on May 18, 1927. Why has Grauman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Chinese Theatre survived as the only purpose-built movie palace in the world showing first-run films since its opening day? And ChineseTheatres management will discuss the operation of the theatre and plans for its future.<\/p>\n
