OCM Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 After the Dillinger shooting, the Biograph promoted the hell out of Dillinger being there. The marque had a thing about it, ran the Midland Dillinger film.Also you could go in and have your picture taken in the ( claimed) seat Dillinger was sitting in that night. The place next door to the Biograph had a thing where you could get you picture taken on the chair Dillinger had a beer on...Later on they had Billie Frechette come in and do a talk about her life with Dillinger.I had the opportunity to go there on the anniversary of the Dillinger killing and watch Manhattan Melodrama. I stood up and took a picture of THE END at the end of the picture, last thing JD saw - pretty geeky. Good party there that night for a fund raiser we were doing. Raised 40K for MS.

junglewalk Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Oh man, that is great, Mr.OCM................Some day I want to make it to the Little Bohemian Inn, in Wisconsin........where the big gun battle took place between the Dillinger gang and the FBI.........They have a website for the place, with photos showing all the items that JD and the others left there....Amazing.

OCM Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Little Bo is a great place to visit, we used to vacation there every year in the 50s & 60s. Lot has changed of course, but the whole area is still like a time machine. I think they have moved the Dillinger museum, out of the Baby Face Nelson cabin and into the main lodge now. I haven't been there in about 10 years now. This picture was taken the next day after the battle. you can see they shot the hell out of it. The now bar wasn't built till 1936.

ghostsoldier Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I've got some pics of the Biograph when we were there last year; it was raining, but not bad enough to stop me from soaking in the ambiance. I've really got to post those vacation pics up here, like I said i would, lol. Rob Edited November 30, 2016 by ghostsoldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
