Mentions in Pop Culture[edit]

The John Cusack film High Fidelity mentions The Biograph Theatre in reference to John Dillenger as a form of satire about Cusack's own life problems with women.

Hogan's Alley[edit]

The F.B.I. named the theater in Hogan's Alley after the Biograph. It is part of a simulated town used for trianing at the academy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.190.52 (talk) 21:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name and original ownership[edit]

I notice that the term "Biograph" was closely associated with the Biograph Company and its Biograph Studios, and that the theater was designed and constructed while these were active. Was the theater originally named after the Biograph Company? Was it originally owned by the Biograph Company? —BarrelProof (talk) 21:19, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
