Warner Theatre “Walk of Fame”
Image by dbking
In front of the Warner Theatre, Washington DC. This is one of numerous imprints in the sidewalk.
What do "Carol Burnett Show" funnyman Harvey Korman, Jethro Tull flutist Ian Anderson and diminutive music recluse Prince all have in common?
No, it’s not that they all wear a codpiece. Only Ian Anderson and, arguably, Prince qualify on that score.
It’s that each has a star on the Warner Theatre’s Walk of Fame.
The Warner Walk might be less famous than Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, but then the celebrity factor here in the District is a shade cooler than it is out west.
Our walk — which features brass stars set into the pavement next to the celebrity signatures — dates to 2001.
"When we renovated the theater, we thought it was an elegant addition to downtown," Mitchell Schear of property management company Kaempfer told The Post that year. "This Walk of Fame will help people see, feel and touch something of the people who have performed here."
The Warner has a rich history. It was built by the Cosmos Theater Co. at a cost of .5 million. When it opened Dec. 27, 1924, it offered "Vaudeville and Pictures," according to a story in The Post. A seat in the balcony for a matinee cost 30 cents, while a box seat for an evening performance was .
In addition to its movies and performers, the theater was known for its Rockettes-style dancers, the Roxyettes, and its swanky basement restaurant, the Neptune Room.
For its first 23 years, it was the Earle Theatre, but by 1947 controlling interest had gone to Warner Bros., and the theater had become a showcase for Warner films. When Henry Warner visited Washington in 1947, he supposedly said, "I own that theater, put my name up there!" They did.
Rock-and-roll replaced vaudeville and movies, and over time the theater fell into disrepair. It was closed in 1989 but reopened in 1992 after undergoing a million restoration. Shirley MacLaine and Frank Sinatra performed at the gala celebrating the Warner’s rebirth.
Both penned their signatures in wet cement, but neither slab was put on immediate display. Theirs, as well as those of 26 other performers, were warehoused until 2001, when they were set into the sidewalk. They were officially dedicated May 16. David Copperfield — the illusionist, not the Dickens character — was in attendance.
The Warner Theatre’s Maria Lang said a committee meets to decide who would be good to add to the Walk of Fame. Honorees must have performed at the theater.
"Many times that’s the impetus for it," Maria said. "Someone’ll see on the schedule that Morgan Fairchild is performing, and they’ll say, ‘Oh look, Morgan Fairchild is coming. Maybe she’ll do one.’ "
Fairchild, who showed off her birthday suit to Warner audiences in the recent production of "The Graduate," is the most recent honoree.
Her slab hasn’t been installed yet, though. Rather than have the celeb kneel on the sidewalk, a slab of wet concrete is conveyed to the celeb, who puts his or her John Hancock on it. Some add a special touch: Tommy Tune pressed his tap shoes into the cement. Bonnie Raitt wrote "No Nukes" on her paver.
The number of celebrities honored at the Warner pales in comparison to the number enshrined in Hollywood — 43 vs. approximately 2,150. But we have some they don’t have: Prince, Harvey Korman and Ian Anderson, for example. In fact, half of the Warner stars aren’t out west, including such local stars as Sweet Honey in the Rock and the Washington Ballet’s Mary Day. We also have exclusives on Tyler Perry of "Madea" fame, "Greater Tuna" creators Jaston Williams and Joe Sears and comedian Dave Chappelle.
Hollywood might have country singer Garth Brooks, but we have "Deep Space Nine’s" Avery Brooks. They have monocle-wearing Erich Von Stroheim, but we have smarmy smile-wearing Eric Idle. They have Rob "All in the Family" Reiner, but we have Rob "Defending the Caveman" Becker. They have "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul, but we have French idol Charles Aznavour.
We both have Englebert Humperdinck.
