Crowds line up to see “Captains Courageous” at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, July 17, 1937

Crowds line up to see “Captains Courageous” at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, July 17, 1937MGM executives would have been pleased to see the line forming outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to see an early evening showing of “Captains Courageous” starring Spencer Tracy and Freddie Bartholomew. Or maybe these people knew that the movie would only play there for a week because Jean Harlow’s final picture, “Saratoga” was coming in the following week. This photo was taken on July 17, 1937 – back in the days when that canopy extended all the way from the front door, across the courtyard to the Hollywood Blvd curb.
