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.

Sad to hear this. At least the Biograph will remain a theatre

Eh...the sightlines sucked...even if we are only talking about non-stadium theatres.
