| Impresario Sid Grauman built a number of movie palaces in Los Angeles in this time period: the Million Dollar Theater in 1918, the Egyptian in 1922, and then the now-famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 1925. He established the tradition of having Hollywood stars place their prints in cement in front of the theater, creating an instant tourist attraction. The 2,258 seat theatre on Hollywood Boulevard opened the same year. Films were bigger, costlier, more polished, and the major film emphasis was on swashbucklers, historical extravaganzas, and melodramas. | Impresario Sid Grauman built a number of movie palaces in Los Angeles in this time period: the Million Dollar Theater in 1918, the Egyptian in 1922, and then the now-famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 1925.
