Public Enemies Blast From The Past: The Biograph Then & Now

With all the hype over this week's opening of the new John Dillinger film Public Enemies, filmed here in Chicago, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale and directed by Michael Mann, the Associated Press dug up this old file photo of the Biograph Theater as it originally appeared in July 1934, the night after Dillinger was shot (the second shot above is of a woman from the original pic holding a newspaper that says "Dillinger Slain"). Also check out shots taken by readers as the Biograph appeared last summer as the crew filmed.
