Hollywood, U.S.A.

Behind a facsimile facade of Grauman's Chinese Theater, complete with hand- and footprints of celebrities in the pavement, Hollywood displays mementos of its past and spotlights some of its glittering figures of the present. Sets from recent motion pictures are displayed, and there is a film museum of props and costumes from vintage classics. Each week a star acts as host of the pavilion. Visiting stars and top recording artists sign autographs - with the help of a multiple-writing machine that signs 100 at a time. The pavilion also offers visitors shops, a bar and a large restaurant.
