The real place
Sid Grauman's Chinese Theatre opened in 1927 with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's The King of Kings. The handprints and footprints of film stars in the cement of its forecourt began that same year and still draw crowds.
Visiting
The forecourt is free to walk around; come early in the morning to see the handprints without crowds. Seeing a film inside is the best way to experience the auditorium.
