Hollywood-Roosevelt Hotel - a photo on Flickriver

"HOLLYWOOD-ROOSEVELT HOTEL
'The Home of Filmland's Notables'
HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA"

The hotel, named after Teddy Roosevelt, still exists and was renovated in 2005. It opened in 1927 "as part of a plan by C.E. Toberman to develop the Highland Avenue side of Hollywood. His real estate holdings focused on this area, as opposed to the Vine Street side of Hollywood, where the Hollywood Knickerbock and Plaza Hotels had recently opened along with three theaters. Toberman countered by developing the El Capitan and Chinese theaters and the Roosevelt Hotel from 1925 to 1927.... Sid Grauman was an original investor in the hotel, along with friends Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Louis B. Mayer, Joseph Schenck, and Marcus Loew" (Early Hollywood, Wanamaker & Nudelman).

Additionally, the hotel was the site of the first Academy Awards , where "Two hundred seventy people attended the May 16, 1929 dinner in the hotel’s Blossom Room; guest tickets cost $5. It was a long affair filled with speeches, but Academy President Douglas Fairbanks made quick work of handing out the statuettes."
