Egyptian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
See the beloved Egyptian Theatre in its 1941 heyday as it makes a cameo appearance in Hollywood Cavalcade. In film producer Darryl Zanuck’s pet project, 20th Century Fox Golden Girl Alice Fay plays Molly Adair, a toiling New York stage actress who is lured into the fledgling motion picture business in 1913 by an ambitious young director (played by Don Ameche). Her career rises and his declines as the film travels through the silent years, recreating productions of the slapstick comedies that defined the era — from the Keystone Cops to pies in the face, bathing beauties and finally the first movie, The Jazz Singer. See the real Buster Keaton and Al Jolson play themselves re-creating elements of their own careers — in Technicolor! Renowned slapstick director Mack Sennett served as technical advisor, and the scenario is said to be a thinly veiled version of his love story with actress Mabel Normand. Silent cinema legend Rin Tin Tin also makes an appearance.
