Encyclopedia > Grauman's Chinese Theater
The historic Hollywood mecca.

Grauman's Chinese Theater is a worldwide-famous movie theater located at 6925 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California in the United States of America. The Chinese Theater was commissioned following the success of the nearby Grauman's Egyptian Theatre which opened in 1922. Built over 18 months begining in January 1926 by a partnership headed by Sid Grauman, the theater opened May 18, 1927 with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings.[1] It has since become one of Southern California's most well known landmarks and is steeped in Hollywood lore, having been home to numerous premieres, birthday parties, corporate junkets and two Academy Awards ceremonies. Among the theater's most famous traits are the autographed cement blocks that reside in the forecourt, which bear the signatures and markings of many of Hollywood's most revered stars and starlets.

"Mann's Chinese Theater" (below the miniature of Griffith Park)
Jack Nicholson's prints from 1974
  • A miniature replica of Grauman's Chinese Theater, made of LEGO bricks, is located at Legoland California as "Mann's Chinese Theater."
  • The Theater is in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and is the centerpiece for a mission where the player must escort, then kidnap a celebrity.
  • In 1972, The Kinks recorded the song "Celluloid Heroes" and refer to Hollywood Boulevard and the concrete signatures of 7 movie stars at Grauman's.
  • In the 1974 comedy spoof Blazing Saddles, a gunfight between the characters played by Cleavon Little and Harvey Korman takes place outside the theater, which is depicted as screening the finished film.
  • In a classic episode of I Love Lucy, Lucy and Ethel visit the theater and discover that the cement block that shows John Wayne's footprints is loose, and attempt to steal the block to take home as a souvenir. In the next episode, they meet John Wayne and try to get it replaced.
  • On the Simpsons episode "Beyond Blunderdome", they pass Mann's Chinese Theater. It is next to Chinese Man's Theater, which is noticeably more dilapidated.
  • In the Futurama episode, "That's Lobstertainment," the theater appears in the 31st century as "Loew's Gaddafi's Mann's Grauman's Chinese Theater."
  • In Kelly Rowland's song "Stole," the theater is mentioned in the chorus along with Marilyn Monroe.
  • In 1997, the song "Mann's Chinese" was released by the alternative band Naked. The song highlights some events at the Chinese, such as the premiere of Batman Returns, in addition to an underlying criticism about the shallow and vain Hollywood culture. The song was a moderate radio hit and also appeared in an episode of the television show Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
  • Grauman's Chinese Theater is also featured on the Hollywood level of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Tony Hawk's American Sk8land.
  • The song "Walter Reed" from the album Mr. Hollywood Jr., 1947 by Michael Penn contains the lyrics, "I've had my fill of palm trees and lighting up Grauman's Chinese. Tell me now what more do you need, take me to Walter Reed tonight" The contrast presented by these lines suggests that the song title refers not to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, but instead to the Walter Reade Theater in New York City.
  • In an episode of the TV show The Beverly Hillbillies the hillbillies perform the "public service" of filling in the footprints, handprints, writing, and even legprints that various "vandals" put in the sidewalk outside the theater.
  • In the recent novel Three Days to Never by Tim Powers, the footprint slab made by Charlie Chaplin in 1928 forms part of a time machine built by Albert Einstein and his daughter. In fact, as in the novel, the Chaplin slab was removed from in front of the theater in the 1950s, when accusations of communism turned much public opinion against the actor, and was moved to a family member's home in Eagle Rock and buried in the back yard where they remain today.
  • In the Robert Zemeckis film Forrest Gump, the Chinese Theatre can be seen during Jenny's hippie days, playing the Stanley Kubrick film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which, in real life, is Tom Hanks' favorite film.
  • In the animated movie Cats Don't Dance, the theater is featured on Danny's arrival in Hollywood, and also is the setting at the priemere of Darla's film.
  • Extreme walker, Lucy Craig recently attempted to break the record for the longest time spent walking. Her route commenced from Grauman's Chinese Theater, however the record attemped was halted due to dehydration.
  • In an episode of the TV cartoon The Fairly Oddparents, The Crimson Chin lands on his buttocks right in the wet cement of the sidewalk in front of the theater. He then signs his name in the wet cement, just like many real actors had done before.
  • An exact replica of the Chinese Theater acted as the centerpiece and architectural icon of the Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida from its opening in 1989 until 2001. At that time a giant Sorcerer's Hat was erected in front of the theater, effectively blocking the view of the theater from the street, and replacing it as the park's official icon. This is apparently due to a licencing and copyright disagreement between the theater's current owners and Disney. It is still there, however, and continues to serve as the entrance to the park's centerpiece attraction, "The Great Movie Ride."
