Here’s a shot of something I’ve never seen before: the original canopy that stretched from the front door of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to the Hollywood Blvd curb had stencils on the side flaps. Those dragons must have been at least a couple of feet tall. This photo was taken during the run of MGM’s “David Copperfield” which, according to GraumansChinese.org was the middle two weeks of February 1935. Back then most films ran for one week, so two weeks meant a film did very well.Original canopy of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre with the stencil designs, Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, February 1935
