/ˌɡrɔːmənz ˌtʃaɪniːz ˈθiːətər/
- the original name of a famous Hollywood cinema, later called Mann's Chinese Theater, and now called TCL Chinese Theater. It was built in 1927 by Sid Grauman and designed like a Chinese pagoda (= religious building). Near its entrance there is a place where well-known film stars leave images of their hands or feet by pressing them into wet cement which then dries.
