SALUTE TO HOLLYWOOD POST 43 & YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH
Co-Presented by the American Cinematheque & the Art Deco Society Los Angeles
The American Legion was founded in 1919 to offer comaraderie and solace to war veterans. That same year, Hollywood's Post 43 was formed. The building on Highland Avenue was built in 1928 with proceeds from a boxing venue run by the veterans! Come tour Post 43 and its museum to learn about its storied history - which has been closely tied to Hollywood celebrity for nearly a century. Photos of Sid Grauman himself are among the memorabilia on display in the museum!
Following the 1:00 PM tour and museum visit is a 3:30 PM screening of the patriotic wartime musical YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH starring Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire, with songs by Cole Porter - at the Egyptian Theatre!
Doors open at 12 noon. Enter the building and take the elevator down one floor upon arrival. You will check in at the door under your name. The Art Deco bar at Hollywood Post 43 will be open from noon until the end of the event if you would like to purchase alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages.
