I do enjoy coming across a color photo of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre—even if they’re showing a movie I’d never heard of before. In July 1948, 20th Century-Fox’s “The Street with No Name” had a 3-week run at Grauman’s. This was back when the theater would put up a huge readerboard on the lot to the immediate east of the theater advertising what was playing. It was ever more impressive at night, when the whole thing would light up.

Here’s how that stretch of Hollywood Blvd looked in July 2022.
