Thanks for the photo and link. I'd never heard of a Breakfast Matinee, much less at the Chinese. This is an interesting site with all kinds of fascinating stuff, although I wish some of the photos were linked to larger sizes!
The site brings to mind--as readers may know, the theatre is now known as the TCL Chinese Theatre, which I cannot bear to say...it'll always be Grauman's to most Hollywood history fans or just the Chinese Theatre at the very least, but I've noticed whenever it's referenced on news programs they always say TCL Chinese Theatre as though it's a requirement they have to say that. I wonder why? If I were a reporter I'd just say the Chinese Theatre.
