Dated July 23, 1934 photograph of the Biograph Theatre in Chicago. Taken the night before, this is actually a crime scene photo from the spot where federal authorities finally put an end to the hunt for gangster John Dillinger. The marquee still reads, "Manhattan Melodrama" which was the movie he saw, and crowds gather in the streets for a look at the gangsters lifeless body. Issued by the Chicago bureau of the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is the only example of this photo in original form we have ever seen!
