Author Topic: The BIOGRAPH theatre in Chicago is now Closed Fred Georges Master Film Handler Posts: 257 From: Lombard, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 09-08-2004 09:53 AM                     I closed the Douser for the last time at the Biograph theatre in Chicago late last night. The Biograph, infamous as the theatre where 30's era Gangster John Dillinger viewed His last movie before being gunned down by the Feds, had shown Movies exclusively for 90 years. The Theatre was recently sold to a theatre group to be turned into a live House. The final Film, appropriately, De-Lovely.  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 09-08-2004 10:00 AM                     Sad to hear this. At least the Biograph will remain a theatre of sorts . fjn Local 294 Ret.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 09-08-2004 11:16 AM                    Eh...the sightlines sucked...even if we are only talking about non-stadium theatres.  |  IP: Logged
