DeMille's The King of Kings, has hosted a number of Academy Awards ceremonies, and, with its 'Hollywood Walk of Fame', is now a famous tourist attraction. As one of the many Internet sites that deals with Hollywood and the film industry put it. Grauman's elaborate premieres helped establish movie stars as a kind of American royalty, our home-grown equivalent of the hereditary aristocracies found in some European countries and various Asian despotic royalties. Hollywood Is Engaged in the mass production of prefabricated day dreams.
