China Theatre opened in May 1927, and was named after its Chinese architecture. The 69-foot-high bronze roof soars into the sky, and the interior of the theater is also designed with China's artistic concept. However, the most attractive thing about chinese theater is the footprints left by 173 stars in the theater vestibule. Every tourist here is either busy taking pictures of his idol's footprints or putting his hand on the star's handprint. There are many interesting stories behind the origin of these handprints and footprints in the vestibule of China Theatre. The most popular version is the mime star norma talmadge, who accidentally stepped on the wet concrete floor when visiting the construction project of China Theatre, leaving footprints, which made sid grauman, who witnessed the process, have a brainwave and invited many superstars to leave footprints one after another. In the records of China Theatre, the first commemorative footprint and handprint were left by the couple stars Mary Pickford and douglas fairbanks on April 30th, 1927.
