ItemImageThis theater is most famous for being the site of John Dillinger's 1934 death to FBI agents. It stands as one of Chicago's oldest moviehouses, having been designed in 1914. The Biograph epitomizes early moviehouses, including characteristics such as a simple store-front-width lobby, a freestanding ticket booth, a recessed entrance, and a canopy marquee. Recent renovations have changed the interior significantly but the site's historical value remains strong.

As a crime buff, this was like visiting a shrine, although I never ventured inside. I wanted to, but they were playing Mutant Ninja Turtles at the time and even my Dillinger-obsession wasn't enough to overcome my antipathy. Still, it was enough to stand outside, to walk to the alleyway where the desperado finally fell, and to soak up the ambiance. (Hopefully, that doesn't sound too morbid, but Dillinger was one of my childhood heroes).
