Egyptian Theatre

Recommendation by Lemi

Watch your favorite old Hollywood actors on-screen once again at the historical Egyptian Theatre! Founded in 1922 by showman Sid Grauman, the cinema held its first ever movie premiere: "Robin Hood" (1922) starring Douglas Fairbanks. The cinema’s exterior screams Egyptian Revival-style, evident in the massive columns, the hieroglyphics on the walls, and large busts of Egypt’s gods. Its interior is up-to-par as well, equipped with 21st century technology for a remarkable viewing experience. Visitors interested in the ins-and-outs of the theater, from Grauman’s staging to the story of the structure’s revival, watch out for the Historic Egyptian Theatre Tour that happens once a month!
