ft 72 EXHIBITORS HERALD-WORLD June 7, I93( Premiere of “Hell’s Angels” AND from the pictures shown below, we should say that the opening of this picture, which has been on the tip of the industry’s tongue for so long, was an omen of good luck to a most unusual film. Part of the vast throng, estimated at 500,000 persons, jammed in the vicinity of Grauman’s Egyptian theatre in Hollywood for the opening of “Hell’s Angels,” signalizing the return of Sid Grauman to theatrical circles. Three companies of the California National Guard, one company of marines augmenting the police reserves, were required to keep order. A close up of the seething mass that greeted the return of Sid Grauman, who is to handle the exploitation of “Hell’s Angels,” produced by Howard Hughes, at the premiere of the picture at the Grauman Egyptian theatre in Hollywood. One can get some idea of the spontaneity of the throng, which crowded around the entrance to the theatre, and in our opinion, it was a premiere par excellence.
