I thought this 'modern' Egyptian Theater was a different theater than Grauman's original Egyptian until I spotted the 'Pig N' Whistle' building
on the right. (the slide is dated 1966)

The Egyptian Theater with it's modernized entrance is at the extreme left in this view of Hollywood Blvd. (also from 1966)

The Egyptian Theater in 1942. The original design has already been altered.

The theater has been restored to it's original design by American Cinematheque.
