Photograph of a view of Hollywood Boulevard, showing Grauman's Chinese Theater illuminated for the movie premier of "Hell's Angels", ca.1929. In the foreground, people clutter the road, while mock World War I fighter planes are suspended above them. Spotlights make a grid across the night sky in the background, while farther left, trails made by moving objects can be seen. Grauman's can be seen at left. Compares to CHS-36069, which shows the same premier closer to the theater.
