In "Free and Easy" (MGM, 1930) Buster Keaton arrives in Hollywood and goes to a premiere at Grauman's Chinese. The film is something called "The Love Call" starring an actor he met on the train. See the many pages about Grauman's Chinese on the Los Angeles Theatres site for hundreds of photos of different areas of the building.
Another shot from "Free And Easy." Note the "Colman" banner. The footage is actually from the December 5, 1929 premiere of "Condemned" with Ronald Colman. Thanks to Kurt Wahlner for identifying the photo. See his listing for "Condemned" on his Grauman's Chinese site.
On IMDb: "Free and Easy"
